Ever wondered how to create the French look by transforming old unloved furniture using quick and simple paint techniques? Well you can be taught to use Chalk Paint™, a decorative paint from Annie Sloan, at approved workshops run by trained stockists. Until 2018 Thomas & Lucia ran workshops which Sue hosted. She trained hundreds of people on how to paint furniture and create many different decorative effects. We no longer run workshops but we thoroughly recommend Glenn & Clare at No64 Biscuit House.
