About this Event
Join our interactive, hands-on workshop designed for those who want to take their skills to the next level and inspire others in-store and on social media. This intermediate workshop is not just about learning new skills; it’s about empowering you to share your knowledge and increase your turnover by encouraging customers to dive into these creative techniques. When your customers feel confident in trying these techniques themselves, they won’t just buy one tin of paint—they’ll be adding brushes, sealants, decorative products, and workshop bookings to their baskets leading to an uptick in sales.
There’s a growing desire for experiences and personal connection. More people are embracing the “make do and mend” philosophy, transforming their homes and furniture not only for cost-saving reasons, but also for the satisfaction, pride, and mindfulness it brings. While some customers prefer the clean, minimalist aesthetic and will buy paint for a DIY project, there’s an exciting surge in demand for truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. As a result, learning these techniques opens the door to limitless creative potential for both your shop and your customers.
By mastering these skills, you’ll be able to create stunning, unique pieces to sell, offer premium-priced items, secure more commission work, and even host your own workshops to teach others. The possibilities are endless!
