Upcycling furniture is fun, relaxing and creative. In this workshop, participants will work together in small teams to upcycle a piece of furniture into a work of art using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Each team will get to design their own furniture piece - choosing colors, finishes and styles - and learn the techniques of painting and finishing furniture. It's good for the environment, and great for the soul!

(This workshop can be conducted for individuals or teams facing off for an exciting upcycling challenge)

In this freestyle workshop, participants will learn how to dye fabric using Shibori, a Japanese discipline of resist dyeing, and the art of traditional block printing on fabric using hand-carved wooden blocks from India. For dyeing and block printing, participants will create dyes using beautiful colors from our range of non-toxic Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

This workshop can be customized for your team - you can choose to dye and block print on a set of cloth napkins, t-shirts, scarves, tote bags or any other small fabric item that’s made of cotton. We will have a range of colors and blocks for participants to choose from and design their own fabric.

This is a one-of-a-kind workshop where participants have a relaxed and creative experience at the end of which they take home their beautiful creations.
