Everybody loves transforming an old unwanted bedside locker or some other old piece of furniture and giving it a new, fresh lease of life. This can be done by preparing it and then applying paint glazes and perhaps a stencil to bring about the transformation. Or, perhaps the box room at home needs a makeover? Maybe the bathroom could be livened up? If you are really ambitious, perhaps you can see yourself starting your own business and decorating a Georgian drawing room! Well why not. Others have done it before, why not you. The Decorative Painting Skills course gives you the necessary skills to start you on your way.

• Are you a Painting contractor who wants to broaden your skills base? This is the course for you.
• Have you worked in Fine Art and you want this to complement your skills? This is the course for you.
• Would you just like to have these skills to work on you and your friend’s houses? This is the course for you.
• Can you paint, draw, use colour reasonably well, or are you looking for something different? Would you like to learn some of the skills that have been in use for centuries, along with the best of the modern developments? This is the course for you

You’ll learn a mix of the best of the traditional skills along with the materials and processes that have been introduced in recent years, and learn how you can apply these to best advantage in any given job. You’ll learn skills such as Ragging, Glazing, Colour Washing, Stencilling, Graining, Marbling and Gilding. And you’ll be working in a supportive learning environment in a modern workshop.

All tools and materials supplied. What’s to lose?
