Learning a new skill always gives me an enormous amount of
satisfaction. I have always loved doing my little DIY projects to keep my
creative side alive but it’s been a while since I have actually sat and up
cycled and revamped anything. Sununu Muscat was kind enough to offer me an introductory
course in Painting your furniture or any surface using Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan. These Chalk Paints are non-toxic and works beautifully on any surface
without priming and sanding – And most importantly easy to use and quick to
dry. In the Introductory Workshop I was shown how to achieve a two-color aged
look, a one color- aged look, a crackle look using heat, a flat smooth finish
and a washed finish. And to create
different effects and textures, I was taught different techniques on how to use the
soft wax that is clear, dark, black, and white. I let my creative imagination
take its course and lead me to learning this new skill. It was absolutely a fun
workshop to remember. It’s important to complete this course before you sign up
for other courses offered at Sununu. Some of the other workshops they offer are
Complete Chair Makeover and upholstery basics, Basic Carpentry workshops, Pottery
painting workshop, Fabric printing and lampshade making, and lots more. If you
wish to join and know more about their workshops in Muscat, please write to workshops@sununumuscat.com
Meanwhile let me give you a small tour of their store that
is so cozy … apologies for the quality of my pictures as they were taken on my
phone J
