This is a fun class to get you familiar with the products so you will be able to transform old and morning to new and trendy!

Cost is $65.00 per person. (see below to see what’s included)  

Call 623-466-3777 to reserve your spot. Spots must be paid at time of reservation. No refund for cancellations. However a credit for a future class or paint purchase will be given.  

Let's transform old and boring to new and trendy!  

• Learn the Basics .... Prep - 1 Color Paint - Distress - Protect all in 4+/- hours!

RSVP - Select your Color & Pay in Advance online, over the phone, or in person at least 2 days before the class. 

Space is limited to 10 participants. 

Class registration close 2 days prior to any class so we may prepare your items and arrange our staff appropriately. You will receive a 10% discount during this class for any additional products you wish to purchase.  

What do I bring? 

You will bring in any small wood item: a couple of picture frames, a shelf, a chair/stool, maybe even a small side table – nothing bigger than 2 feet tall/wide (A good rule of thumb: if you can carry it by yourself without a cart; you can bring it!)  Also, think about transporting your new treasure home safely. Perhaps bring a blanket or towels for protection.  

Can I bring snacks or beverages? 

Absolutely! Please drink responsibly. There is a working kitchen for snack preperation.

What do I wear? 

Consider wearing comfortable clothes and something you do not mind getting paint on –just in case. We do have aprons available.  

What does Local Craft Gallery provide? 

Consider us the concierge of chalk painting classes! Our classes are purposefully limited in participant size to provide a guided hands-on experience from a certified instructor. We provide all the supplies and tools needed for you to be successful– from set up to paint, paint brushes, sand paper, sealer, and final clean up. Plus, you keep all your non-consumable supplies including what is left in your 8-oz. jar of Dixie Belle Paint. Think of it as a learner’s kit to continue painting!  

Anything else??? 

1. Photos please! 

Please send us a photo of your piece. This way we can anticipate if your item happens to need a little prep work with a primer before you begin. Does it have a super glossy finish? Is a mahogany or wood that is prone to bleed through if you are going to paint it white. 

Send that photo to Beautyforashesdesignstudio@gmail.com 

Or text 623-466-3777  

2. Color please! 

Let's set aside your jar of paint --- as we tend to sell out of colors ironically the day or two before your scheduled workshop.  There are 64 fantastic colors to choose from, so once you know your color contact us either here, through our Facebook event post, or over the phone, so we can set it aside for you. Need help choosing a color? Let me know!  We look forward to a lot of laughter and fun!  

FAQs 

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event? 

For this class we suggest the minimum age to be at least 13 years old accompanied with a parent.  

What can/can't I bring to the event? 

Please do not bring large/heavy items as we cannot accommodate the loading/unloading necessary for multiple people during the busy day. Plus, we only have a few hours together and it would take much longer for larger items like dressers, chest of drawers, etc. to paint/dry/seal. Alcohol/beverages/ food is permitted.
