What’s Happening at The Painted Bench?
We always have a good selection of workshops using Annie Sloan Paint on offer at the shop, in August we’re going to kick things up a notch!
Make It Your Own with Annie Sloan
As always we will be running our cornerstone workshop, Make It Your Own with Annie Sloan. This is where we teach you the basics of Chalk Paint™ and how to use this wonderful paint to create your own masterpieces. In three short hours you will learn several techniques, many ways to distress, stencilling, and finishing with Annie’s Soft Wax.

This is one of the newest workshops we have on offer at the shop. Annie Sloan Paint and Iron Orchid Designs products are a match made in heaven! First off we will be using two of the most popular IOD design items, transfers and moulds to create some fabulous pieces you will love to display in your home. Besides Chalk Paint™ we will be using Craqueleur and Waxes for a beautiful old world finish. Taking furniture upcycling to a whole new level!

This is a workshop that we’ve offered for quite a while and we think its time to change things up a bit! In this class we use our wonderful Monahan Papers and Chalk Paint™ to create a lovely panel. We will be adding a new aspect to this class with Artisan Enhancements plasters. Learn how to create raised stencils with fine stone or pearl plaster, finishing off with Annie Sloan’s Craqueleur and Black Wax. Advanced techniques made easy!

This has been our most popular new workshop of the summer! This hot trend is sweeping the design world and now you can create your very own. You will be using Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan to paint a beautiful Canadian made paddle. Because the paddles are unfinished you will be using Dark Wax to create a lovely patina. Let your imagination be your guide!
