Chalk Painting Workshops are a great way to learn the basics of restyling furniture or décor. We will walk through the preparation processes, tools and equipment best suited to preparing the piece.
During the workshop we will go through all the different kinds of paint types, finishing products and many tips of the trade to make light work of your items that you wish to transform.
Other topics will include brush types and experimenting and using different sponges and clothes for finishing effect and we will also go through the different types of decorative design techniques such as decoupage, stenciling and applying transfers to your pieces.
The workshops run from 10 am – 4 pm as we allow for lunch and plenty of drying time in between coats. Lunch and refreshments are provided or a voucher to spend at the many cafes in town is all included in the price.
At the end of the workshop you will take home a transformed piece of furniture (no bigger than a bedside) and the pot of paint you are using of your chosen colour as there should be some left to match an item from home as your next project.
A great way to meet like minded people or if you have a group of 4 people you can book a session as friends for a group activity or get together on a date that best suits you all. Private sessions are also available on negotiable dates.
I will have dates set out under my workshop section please contact me via the contact page or subscribe to my mailing list to keep in the loop.
The photo is from my workshop that I completed in Mogo, it was heaps of fun and gave me inspiration to improve my skills.
Please note workshop bookings attract a non-refundable fee of $40 paid at the time of booking confirmation, please read the terms and conditions which is located under the discover section on the main menu.

Today I completed a chalk painting workshop at The_GypsyCure and I not only got to completely update and make beautiful my old painting chair, I got so, so much more.
Michelle Mccormack is an awesome instructor, who stimulates a very high vibration within her classes. I learned so much under her tutelage and as she keeps her classes small, she was able to assist each one of us. 💞
I suffer with severe anxiety, but within minutes I not only felt completely comfortable, I was relaxed and chatty. The best part, is our little group got to meet new friends and I know I wasn’t the only one who had absolutely brilliant day.
The store is full of wonderful and eclectic items, with any questions answered with a smile. It is well worth your time to drop in. And definitely well worth your time to book into a workshop, if you have the time.
Thanks Michelle. 💞
