This is a fun activity in Twickenham, London
Give an old piece of furniture a whole new life at this hands-on painting workshop in Shepperton – a fun, creative session designed specifically for parent and teen pairs to enjoy together during the holidays.
Held at Vintage Chic ReLoved in Shepperton TW17, the class is kept to a maximum of four pairs (eight people in total), so the atmosphere is friendly, personal, and genuinely supportive throughout. It's also suitable for any carer over 18 with a teen, grandparents and grandchildren, and teens with additional needs – anyone who'd enjoy learning something practical and creative side by side.
Your tutor will guide you through the full process from start to finish. You'll learn how to properly clean and sand your piece, understand which paints to use and why (the class uses Frenchic Paint, widely regarded as the market leader), and practise both brush and roller techniques before sealing and caring for your finished furniture at home. By the end of the session, your piece will be painted and ready to take away with you.
You'll need to bring one piece of furniture between you – a wooden chair, occasional table, small stool, or wooden box all work well. Larger items like bedside tables or chests of drawers are welcome, though you may not finish them within the session. If you don't have a piece to bring, get in touch and your tutor can source one for a small additional cost.
- Suitable for teens aged 12 and over
- Suitable for teens with additional needs
