Upcycle Painting Workshop
Hi everyone,
There will be an upcoming Upcycling Painting Workshop that will be held over on the North Shore. Classes are fun, creative and allow you to reuse and make your home décor beautiful once more. Instructors will provide tips and tricks for making your tired old home décor pieces, look new and interesting again. We use discarded wood so that participants feel comfortable trying any painting technique they'd like. It allows for creativity and adventurous techniques. Most of the techniques used will aim to be quick, easy and more affordable over buying new stuff. It will give you the confidence and accomplishment to create your own work in your own style. Come along to hear and share new ideas and get personal support in your upcycling journey.
Location: Highbury Community House, 110 Hinemoa St, Birkenhead, Auckland
Date: Sunday 11 August
Time: 1 PM - 3 PM
