Private Courses
Vanessa runs professional, private decorative paint effects courses in a cosy summerhouse/studio at her home. These can be tailormade to her students requirements, however courses include 'Decorative Paint Effects for Furniture' 'Decorative Paint Effects for Walls' and 'Colours of Provence', a decoupage course using colours and images inspired by that area. Stencilling can also be covered.
Working on wood samples and MDF blanks, students learn quality specialist paint effects for furniture decoration, such as decoupage and crackleure, wood wash, antiquing and distressing.
Colour washing for walls, use of metallic washes and stencils for use as 'wall art', are other examples. Contact Vanessa on 07974 761173 for further details, dates and prices. Bed and Breakfast accommodation can be arranged locally, if you live too far away.
