Explore the world of traditional decorative finishes including Woodgraining, Malachite, Faux Marbling, and Crackle Glaze Finishes.

This one-day course is great for those who are passionate about heritage restoration, interior design, or simply keen to learn new creative techniques. You’ll learn the basics of key traditional decorative finishes, creating 4 panels demonstrating each technique.

Your tutor is Simon Nobs of South Coast Studio. Simon has been providing a high-quality painting and decorating service for 35+ years to clients across the UK and Europe, more recently focusing on the more artistic side of interior decoration. 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 Sunday 28th June, 9.30am-5pm. There will be a short break for lunch each day and tea/coffee is provided.
