About this Event
This workshop is made possible by LBHF Climate Action Fund.
Give an old piece of furniture a new lease of life! Instead of throwing furniture away when it looks tired or no longer suits your style, learn how to paint and personalise it so you can keep using it for longer.
At this practical workshop, Petit Miracles will guide you through the process of preparing and painting furniture. You'll learn techniques that you can take home and use again and again! Transform your own furniture, helping to reduce waste while creating something that reflects your personal style.
Bring your own piece to work on!
What you could learn:
- How to prepare furniture for painting
- Basic painting techniques

Please note:
