## Details

Join us on Saturday, May 17th from 1 PM - 4 PM as we create upcycled bread boxes to add a splash of color and style to your kitchen space! All experience levels are welcome to participate.

In this 3-hour workshop, you will design, paint, transfers, stencils, and decoupage your own take-home bread box using upcycling skills, which you can then apply to any piece of furniture, using resin paint, decoupage, stenciling, and finishing off with gilding wax. A new, unused bread box will be provided with your workshop fee (See box details and dimensions below), and a thoughtfully curated assortment of multiple decoupage papers and stencils to choose from for application inside and outside of the bread box. We'll be using Rethunk Junk by Laura® Furniture and Cabinet paint, which is an all-in-one acrylic paint that's infused with resin for added durability on your furniture makeover. No priming, sanding, or waxing required. Rethunk Junk by Laura® provides a buttery-smooth, satin finish. Water-based. Low VOC. This paint is safe to use on the inside of the bread boxes and be in contact w/bread, as it dries to a hard finish (unlike chalk paint which needs wax to seal in the color and would not be ideal for food contact). Three shades of furniture wax will be available to add depth and dimension: dark/antique, black, and white. Gold and silver gilding wax will be available to choose from to add extra brilliance and pizzaz. Aftercare: Learn the importance of letting your gilding wax finish cure, and how to care for and maintain your finished piece once you get it home.

This class is all about artistic free expression. There is no wrong way to complete this fun art project. The skills learned in this workshop can be applied to any piece of furniture you want to give new life through upcycling. We love furniture art and are excited to share these skills and experiences with you!

Join us on Saturday, June 7th from 1 PM - 4 PM as we create upcycled patio side tables to add a splash of color in celebration of Pride Month! All experience levels are welcome to participate.

Learn to paint on Patio Furniture!
In this 3-hour workshop, you will design, paint, transfers, stencils, and decoupage your own take-home Pride Month-themed patio side table using upcycling skills, which you can then apply to any piece of furniture, using resin paint, decoupage, stenciling, and finishing off with gilding wax. A new, unused outdoor patio side table will be provided with your workshop fee (See side table details and dimensions below), and a thoughtfully curated assortment of multiple Pride Month-themed decoupage papers and stencils to choose from for application on your side table. We'll be using Rethunk Junk by Laura® Furniture and Cabinet paint, which is an all-in-one acrylic paint that's infused with resin for added durability on your furniture makeover. No priming, sanding, or waxing required. Rethunk Junk by Laura® provides a buttery-smooth, satin finish. Water-based. Low VOC. This paint is safe to use on the patio side table and to be in contact with the elements, as it dries to a hard finish (unlike chalk paint, which needs wax to seal in the color and would not be ideal for outdoor contact). Three shades of Rethunk Junk furniture wax alternative "WASH" will be available to add depth and dimension: dark/antique, black, and white: WASH stands for Wax Alternative Hardener & Sealer and provides just a hint of color while also adding a layer of protection to your patio furniture makeover project. Gold and silver gilding wax alternatives (better for outdoor use) will be available to add extra brilliance and pizzazz. Aftercare: Learn how to care for and maintain your finished piece through the changing seasons once you get it home.
