I really liked doing this workshop. It was new to me. Never done it before. There was a lot of freedom in the choice of how I wanted to paint my piece of furniture. And along with the process good advice and help from Irina. Nice suggestions on how to handle occurring problems because of my mistakes or misjudgments of the beginner 😅 And it turned out good. There was no rush, no hurry up and enough time to finish the job. And that made it a wonderful relaxed and zen weekend. It cleared my head. And I am very happy with my little drawer cabinet. So thank you very much.

Such a sweet lady with so much talent and patience! During the workshop she explains it very simple and easy and if you already have some painting experience, she still has useful tips and tricks. Coffee, tea and cookies were ready when we started the first day and felt really at home. Thank you for these 2 beautiful days!

I carefully select vintage carved furniture for you. It's always difficult to find so rare pieces. If you book a workshop 2-3 weeks ahead you have more options to choose.
