Join us for the Annie Sloan Furniture Painting Retreats as a non-residential guest. This will give you access to everything the Retreat provides - just without the accommodation.

We have decided to open this option up (with limited spaces available) based on feedback from local people who would like to attend but without the accommodation.

INCLUDED:

• Partially catered: ‘elevensies’, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner with selected wines

• Annie Sloan Techniques Workshops (such as basic principles of Annie Sloan paint, waxing, texture, two tone distressing, gilding, stencil, decoupage, crackle, smooth finishes, ombré/blending, pattern and mark making)

• Demonstrations on a variety of techniques

• 1:1 tuition working on a piece that you will bring with you to upcycle

• Live demonstration, Q&A and interview with SPECIAL GUEST, Annie Sloan, the founder of Chalk Paint®, who will be joining us for two nights and three days

• Exploring colour and texture on canvas, taking inspiration from the beautiful house and grounds

• Photography and staging workshop with your upcycled piece of furniture

• Opportunities for social media coaching

• Flower picking and arranging

• ‘Tablescaping’ - including making our own painted napkins

• ‘Downtime’ to relax and enjoy some time away from the paintbrushes with a local visit planned to Clevedon Pier and Doghead Designs

• Meeting and socialising with likeminded individuals

• An art talk by an art historian to accompany pre-dinner drinks

• A talk to learn more about the history of Court House Farm

• Special guests: mindfulness, health and wellbeing & relaxation (for example, hand massage, yoga, reiki)
