Entry requirements

You will need to supply the items to be worked on and all the materials that you will need to change them, ie paints, decorative papers, PVA glue, pot of wax, old rags, wood filler, sandpaper, brushes, trimmings, decorative beads, buttons, decorative ribbons etc. We will discuss what you need to bring, in more depth, during the first session, as it will very much depend on what you wish to work on and how you want to change it. Items that you may wish to bring can be simple and basic products from mainstream shops like IKEA and Hobbycraft and could include plywood box files, box drawers, wooden frames and lampshades. All items will be discussed during the first session. For the first session you should bring a notepad and pen. We will then discuss in more detail, what will be needed for the following weeks. If you already have any small items that you will want to work on, you may bring these in with you.
