"Really enjoyed this basic chalk paint course . Good to learn the basics first and lots of useful tips from Pete. Small studio so painting larger items could be difficult but perfectly fine for the beginners class . Pete is clearly a very talented guy and explained things well."

"I loved gleaning some of Pete's wealth of knowledge about shabby chic painting methods in a great relaxed informative way! The variety of chalk paints on offer were amazing, and I managed to turn a plain wooden box into a lovely French themed piece of furniture, complete with Parisian stencil - Merci Pete!"

"Good opportunity to rejuvenate a piece of furniture of your own choice, a great amount of learning time and good, clear teaching from an experienced tutor. Thank you Pete for the opportunity and I have gained a new interest too. Looking forward to learning more and trying bigger pieces in the future."

"Really enjoyed this course it was fun and informative and came away with a transformed old pine box. I learnt that there is more to it than just buying a tin of paint and brush and slapping on, the technique and finish makes all the difference, and have had the confidence to attempt a bigger piece of furniture with very pleasing results. The "post-course" advice is also invaluable. Thank you Pete."

"Loved the course, very relaxed atmosphere. Pete was very patient and very informative. I now know what to use and in what order, still learning as I go. I am now totally addicted and painting everything that does not move!!! If you ever wondered what chalk paint is about, go to the course Pete runs, you will not regret it."
