Bringing the Warmth of Wood and Colors Together: Wood Painting Workshop

An old side table in the corner of your home, a tray whose color you don't like, or a simple box made of raw wood... All these objects can be transformed into the most stylish and meaningful pieces in your home with your touch. Wood Painting is the most enjoyable way to renew the old, add soul to objects, and create completely personal decorative items. At Peska Sanat, we offer an inspiring workshop experience where you will combine the natural texture of wood with the vibrancy of colors and unleash your creativity.

Why Should You Join a Wood Painting Workshop?

This workshop not only provides you with a manual skill but also:

• Is Sustainable and Economical: It allows you to "upcycle" by giving a new identity to your old furniture instead of throwing it away. This is an approach that is friendly to both your budget and the environment.
• Completely Personal Designs: You can design unique objects that are a 100% match for your home's decoration or the taste of the person you will gift it to.
• Is Stress-Relieving and Meditative: Repetitive and focus-requiring actions like sanding and applying paint with a brush calm the mind by distancing it from daily worries.
• Provides Practical Skills: You can use the basic carpentry and painting skills you learn in this workshop in many different projects in your life.

What Techniques Will You Learn in Our Workshops?

Wood painting is much more than just dipping a brush in paint. In our program, you will learn all the steps to transform an object professionally from start to finish:

• Surface Preparation: The first rule of a successful paint job! We learn techniques for sanding, cleaning, and applying the correct primer to the wood surface.
• Painting: We explore different types of paints like acrylic paint, water-based varnished paints, or the popular material of recent years, "chalk paint," and their application techniques.
• Decorative Techniques: The most fun part that will add character to your objects!
• Distressing: Techniques to give wood a lived-in, vintage look.
• Decoupage: Transferring patterns from napkins or special papers to the wood surface.
• Stenciling: Creating flawless patterns and writings using ready-made stencils.
• Protection (Final Coat): Methods of applying matte, semi-gloss, or glossy varnish, or wax for a natural look, to protect the masterpiece you created with your labor.
