Description
The Natural Paint Course is a one day practical course on the use of natural and traditional paints, oils and waxes.
Participants on the Natural Paint Course work on a wide range of traditional and natural decorative materials including:
- Clay paint
- Linseed paint (stand oil paint)
- Lime paint
- Silicate paint
- Chalk paint, including distemper
- Natural hard oil
- Wood whitening techniques (liming)
- Decorative effects
We begin the natural paint course with a presentation giving a brief outline of the history of different paints and the benefits of using them.
Our approach is to create a relaxed environment where you will enjoy trying out a wide range of paints, oils, waxes and varnishes. We will provide small items of woodwork to decorate and take away at the end of the course. If you want to bring your own samples of wood, or even small items of furniture to experiment on, you are welcome to do so.
All brushes and materials are provided but please bring protective/work clothing.
Course numbers are limited to 7 to ensure our time can be dedicated to all those attending.
Tools, paints and finishes are available for purchase at the end of course.
The courses are held at our warehouse in Buckland Filleigh Sawmills, Devon.
