EmailHave you ever wanted to create your own unique furniture? During this two day experience you’ll discover how to upcycle with pallets, transforming them into custom pieces for your home.
On day one you’ll learn how to source materials and discover the tools and techniques you’ll need to prepare them for upcycling. Once Scott has introduced you to the workshop tools, you’ll use a mix of hand and power tools to create your own piece of furniture. What you make is your choice, from a shoe or wine rack to a storage box, bird feeder or even a small bookcase.
For your second day, you’ll discover how to decorate wood. You'll experiment with using different colouring techniques, from painting to ageing your wood using a blow torch. At the end of the day, you’ll go home with your another unique build and the skills to make and decorate more upcycled pieces yourself.
All materials, tools and safety equipment will be provided and you'll have your own finished upcycled pieces to take home at the end of both days.
