Start Small: Leave Confident
Monthly Furniture Painting Workshop​
Bring One Small Piece & Leave with Confidence

This class isn’t about perfection — it’s about starting again with confidence.
Bring one small piece that you can carry in one hand (small table, chair, drawer, or décor item).
In this relaxed, supportive workshop, you’ll use your included 8-oz jar of DIY paint and have the option to wet distress it, then finish with clear wax to create a visible, confidence-building result and leave feeling proud of what you've made.
