Over the course of a week, TYs A and B took part in an Upcycling Workshop run by The Cottage Store in Portumna. This workshop taught us a series of technical skills that we could use to upcycle old and worn pieces of furniture to make them more modern. In this workshop, we learned about Annie Sloan Paint and it's origins. We were given a piece of plywood which was split into 3. We used 3 different painting techniques and colours to create a textured and new look. We were also given advice about what would be the best way to do different pieces of furniture and how to go about it. I found the day very interesting and I definitely found some of the advice useful.
