I had such a lovely time at the Ballerina with a Paintbrush workshop!I brought along a couple of second-hand wooden pieces I’d picked up from an op shop — a tray and a little drawer box — and it was so nice to give them a new life.The host was incredibly welcoming and explained everything really clearly. All the materials were provided and the workshop was very beginner-friendly. I had quite a few questions along the way and she was so patient and happy to explain things again whenever I needed.We even had a lovely morning tea together, which made the whole experience feel really relaxed and friendly.I’d definitely recommend this workshop if you’re curious about this kind of craft but are a complete beginner. I really appreciated how generously she shared her knowledge and tips. Thanks so much for such a lovely morning!

Teacher was very knowledgeable. Easy to chat to and I learned a lot. Highly Recommend.

The girls really enjoyed this class! They were proud of their work. Only thing is make sure you bring snacks in case they are still finishing off.. the kids were starving by 12.30

really good teacher! Amazing class!

Very relaxed and enjoyable class and highly recommended. Gaylene was a great teacher and morning tea was an extra bonus. It was wonderful to learn the painting basics and I have much more confidence now to set off on my own creative journey with furniture reworks and revamps. The products used gave such a great finish and the colours are amazing. Thanks so much. Highly recommended!

Teacher was very welcoming friendly and informative. She helped me overcome my anxiety and encouraged me to experiment with the paint. She has a huge range of materials and examples of her work. A lovely Morning tea was also provided.

A great class and am thrilled with my newly painted table. Gaylene was amazing too. Highly recommend to others wanting to transform their dated brown furniture.

it was an enjoyable class, with some good tips & knowledgeable teacher & the venue and materials were good too

I’ve tried painting furniture before but wanted to learn some techniques. The class pace was flexible but it provided enough time to go through all stages of our projects.I fully enjoyed the class and the teacher gave us a lot of tips. Materials were provided and available if we wanted to purchase anything.

Thoroughly enjoyed my beginner's furniture painting workshop. Lots of great information shared and a lovely morning tea provided. Thank you Gaylene!

I loved it, the class was informative and I painted to drawers. I loved the advice and suggestions, I even got to do some stencilling to pretty up the sides of my drawers. I was able to purchase all the supplies I needed to finish my projects. One dresser, one wash table. We also had morning tea and it was nice to meet the other participants too. I finished of the first piece at home this afternoon.

Relaxed and enjoyable class with everything but your painting piece, provided. You’ll learn all the tips to confidently give your furniture a new lease of life

Really enjoyed the class and have a better understanding of how to paint furniture on my own. It has been on my ‘to do’ list for ages so am excited to have finally done it and feel confident tackling my own projects. I wished I had achieved more in the class but that wasn’t the fault of the teacher, it was my choice of piece lol. Gaylene was very lovely and passed on lots of knowledge to us.

Lovely way to spend a morning. Great to understand the basics. Highly recommend.

Enjoyable workshop that covers quite a lot of techniques. Gaylene is very knowledgeable and is happy to answer any questions during and after the workshop. The summary sheet of techniques covered is a great take away.

Lots of good information and teacher very knowledgeable and engaging

I can definitely recommend the beginners workshop. It’s a great way to learn the basics and practice on your own piece with Gaylene’s guidance.

Perfect class. I’d been thinking about trying a painting class like this for so long. This was a perfect starter class, I took along a wooden desk riser with drawers and it was the perfect size to prep, paint and finish in the 3hr workshop. Gaylene is so helpful and provides everything you could need to complete your piece.
