Join a worldwide community in this DIY chalk paint workshop

Starting next Monday (15 March), you can join in Annie Sloan’s The Big Paint, a worldwide event for painters and creators of all skill levels. You can participate online or in person at an Australian stockist of her famous chalk paint.

There’ll be a number of events throughout March, focusing on upcycling a plain tea tray into a beautiful and unique decoration. You’ll receive everything you need inside a $99 workshop kit, which you can get sent straight to your home (to follow along online), or pick up at an in-person event.

The kit includes three tins of chalk paint in Aubusson Blue, Scandinavian Pink and Chicago Grey, a tin of Clear Chalk Paint Wax, an event exclusive stencil design, and the wooden tray itself.

The Big Paint is an opportunity to nourish your artistic side and connect with other creative people. Purchase your kit or find an in-person workshop near you on the Annie Sloan website.

Get reno ready with an intensive interior design workshop

Renovating can be extremely exciting, but it can also be extremely overwhelming, time-consuming and expensive! So how do you go about creating your dream home, without forking out thousands on an interior designer?

Introducing the two-day intensive workshop from G.A.B.B.E, where they will teach you everything you need to know about your dream home renovation and have you walk away with interior fixtures and finishes schedules.

What many people don’t realise — and what sees them go over budget — is that when you get a quote off your builder you need to present them with a full documentation package, not just drawings and plans. For builders to quote properly they need schedules and finishes and a full idea of what they need to quote on. Without this you are receiving quotes from builders that don’t actually reflect what you want, ultimately leading to you spending more money than you have!

Each workshop will only take four people (or four couples), so they’re extremely hands on. They will run every month in G.A.B.B.E’s Melbourne headquarters, with the first this weekend. And there’s still one space left! So hurry!

“What this is not is a repeat of the book in any way, nor is it a master class,” says Megan. “What it is is a potentially house-changing decorating workshop dedicated to one of the most hazardous rooms in the house — your kid’s bedroom!”

This class will cover the pitfalls and the opportunities of kids rooms. “Children’s bedrooms are loaded with trapdoors, as anyone who lives with them well knows! Explore the potential of yours with a class that talks to all age groups, styles and budgets. How to make the most of the area, how to avoid common traps and how to think like a kids room decorator are all covered,” Megan explains. Special guests Arent & Pyke will show and share their best ideas for rooms that can work for all budgets. “All in all it will be inspiring, great learning and could potentially save you hundreds of decorating dollars on the real rooms of the house!”
