This course is suitable for beginners, but would also suit those looking to develop their traditional decorative finishes or practical skills in furniture painting.
Your tutor is Simon Nobs of South Coast Studio.

Simon has designed and created a range of high-quality workshops to teach, red-listed traditional decorative paint techniques.
Our class sizes are small, so you'll have a chance to engage with the tutor while you work. All materials and tools required for the course will be provided. This course takes place on Saturday 23 May, 9.30am-5pm. There will be a short break for lunch each day and tea/coffee is provided.
