Decorative Finishes Workshop

Gina Davis

 Revamp, revive and enrich your home using decorative finishes! If you are tired of plain walls and boring furniture, the decorative finishes is the answer. This 4 week workshop is designed to teach you simple, effective techniques that will transform walls, furniture and accessories around your home without breaking your budget.

In the first week you will learn the basic technique of sponging and get tips on how to create a color scheme that will work in your home. From there, each of the workshops will build on that technique as you learn to create marbled surfaces and faux tiling. The last class, gold leafing, will give you ideas on how to accentuate furnishings and objects with the leafing technique.

The cost of the workshop includes supplies and handouts that summarize the supplies and techniques used for each class. The practice pieces we create will be used for decorative projects in class.

Creative Living Workshop

Debra Linker

I could have... I should have...   If only he/she/they were different...  

But I don't know how...     I don't have enough money...    

There's not enough time...     It's too late...    I'm too old... 

What about the kids...    What about my job... I'm not creative...      

I'm not smart enough...    But I can't do THAT!    

But...  I... CAN'T!

If this is the dialogue you have with yourself when you think of doing something new, when you think of your dreams, this workshop is for you. You will learn why we hold these ideas and beliefs. You will learn how to turn off the negative, critical voice in your head and turn on the more powerful voice - the one in your heart. You will discover ideas, hopes, and dreams you didn't even know you had. And then you will discover that you can do, have and be anything you want. Anything. Imagine... YOUR dreams coming true!
