We're excited to be returning to the wonderful National Trust, Heritage and Rural Skills Centre, Swindon in early October.
On Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th we will be hosting two CPD accredited courses, The Art of Traditional Faux Marbling and The Art of Traditional Wood Graining.
These two endangered crafts courses are aimed at those who have had some previous experience with decorative paint techniques or for those who have completed one of our beginners or fundamentals classes.
We will assume that you have a good understanding of the craft and that you are able to dive straight into the creation of your chosen marble or wood finish.
We can't wait to welcome you there, and we look forward to a packed fun day of creativity.

A wonderful weekend visit to Goodnestone Park! 🏛️✨

As decorative painters, we couldn’t help but admire the magnificent Grade II* listed architecture—especially the stunning marble fireplaces and beautifully crafted period furniture. The depth of veining and historic detail throughout the estate is a constant source of inspiration for our own faux marble creations.

We finished the visit with a peaceful walk through the glorious gardens and a well-deserved stop at the Old Dairy Café for refreshments. If you’re exploring Kent, it comes highly recommended! ☕🍰
