In the organizer's words:

Discover how much potential there is in every piece of furniture!

In this inspiring DIY workshop, you will learn how to give old or plain furniture a completely new look using color and creative techniques. Whether you are a beginner or already have some experience - this course is perfect for discovering or expanding your craft skills!

What to expect in the workshop

You will receive in-depth basic knowledge about:

  • Materials & substrates: Which surfaces are suitable for what?
  • Sanding & preparation: information on abrasives, grits and tools.
  • Repairs & pre-treatments: Filling, puttying and gluing made easy.
  • Tools: The right choice of brushes, rollers and more.
  • Paints & varnishes: Primers, barrier primers, water-based and solvent-based varnishes.
  • Color design: Introduction to color systems such as RAL and NCS as well as color scanners.
  • Creative techniques: Decorative design options with metallic paints.

Design your own workpiece

After initial exercises on a practice board, you can apply what you have learned directly: Design and finish your own solid wood step stool. Thanks to a large selection of colors (25-30 shades) and optional design options such as metallic highlights, your workpiece is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher.

Possible uses for your stool:

  • Practical household helper
  • Stool for plants or flowers
  • Stylish shelf for books and decorations
  • Seating for the children's room

Colors as a design element

Learn how colors influence emotions, express personality and give your furniture that certain something.

The course fee includes:

  • All material costs
  • Your own workpiece and practice board
  • Drinks and snacks for creative breaks

Optional: We can order lunch in nearby restaurants (costs to be paid byeach participant).
