These lovely ladies enjoyed a recent workshop and are now inspired to paint.
'I really enjoyed the Annie Sloan painting course. Andy and Jill couldn't do enough for us and we didn't feel rushed. It was like being at home in a relaxed environment (with cake and coffee) and the shop is amazing! I came away with a beautiful candlestick and a goodie bag containing hints and tips and a paint mixer. I can't wait to paint more things and want to say a massive thank you for your hospitality! A highly recommended service from lovely people'
