In this workshop, participants are encouraged to bring a used, shoebox-sized wooden item from home, marketplace, thrift, or yard sale, such as a jewelry or treasure box or tabletop drawers.
Please note that wood will work best for our supplies and skills techniques in this dynamic program, where we will work on painting techniques, decoupage, stamping, foiling, chalking, and sanding. Don’t have an item to bring? No problem, as the instructor will also bring some assorted wooden items for practice.
