A short note from Laura...
Thank you to everyone for your support and patience during these very unusual times. It is always so great to see you at the studio! I am so excited to begin offering workshops on a more regular basis again. I will continue to limit the workshop size to 4-6 students...depending upon the studio set up for each workshop/project.
I am requesting that everyone wear a mask during the workshop. I hope that everyone will understand this request. If you have any questions, you are welcome to call me.
A new Fall/Halloween workshop has just been added...and more Fall and Christmas/Winter projects on the way.
As I create the workshop projects, I will be adding them to the schedule...so please check back soon!
Be the first to know about our new workshops by following Studio Primrose on Instagram and Facebook. And check back often so that Facebook will keep us in your "feed."
As seating is limited, many workshops fill quickly. We are in the process of creating "DIY at Home" kits supported by video to make these projects available to more people.
Please be safe and healthy! I'm looking forward to seeing you!
​Blessings to all of you and your families...Laura

Fall & Halloween Decor Set Workshop

I have to say that I had a lot of fun creating this set for the workshop! I wanted to offer something that could be displayed for both Halloween and the Fall season.
And a really cool feature is that the jar "wood and floral seasonal decor set" is removable and can be changed out for all the seasons and holidays! Stay tuned for the soon-to-be released  Winter and Christmas sets!

​The workshop set includes:
One thick block (4"x4") - Pre-stained black. You will decoupage both sides for Halloween & Fall
One 4-1/2" Tall Ridged Jar (pre-painted black) To be "grunged" in the workshop
One set of unfinished wood pieces with Fall florals
One Leaf Garland (approx. 15" long - choice of fall leaves)
Torn primitive fabric strips, rusty wire & "pip" garland

***Please note: The white pedestal is not included in this set.***

There will be a fabulous assortment of images to choose from for both the Fall and Halloween sides.
As mentioned above, the wood block and ridged bottle will be pre-painted for you before the workshop so that you can have all the fun "grunging things up" in the studio.
While your grungy bottle is drying, we will paint all of the decorative wood bits, add the natural florals, put together the leaf garland and dress up the bottle. 

This is going to be one busy...and fun...workshop!

Three Dates:
Sunday, October 3rd - 11:30am-2:15pm
Friday, October 8th - 10:30-1:15pm
Saturday, October 9th - 10:30-1:15pm

Workshop Fee: $25 (includes everything!)

Hello Fall Plaque Workshop

Once I saw the preview of the IOD Fall release products, I couldn't wait to get my hands on them! Since their arrival last week, my mind has been swirling with all the fun project possibilities!
This Fall rustic sign is painted using the stunning "Fruitful Harvest" and "Sunflowers" stamp sets from Iron Orchid Designs. "Hello Fall" is stamped with the IOD "Farmhand" alpha stamp set. It was so much fun painting with all the gorgeous Fall colors!

I am so excited to be offering this workshop! I will be sharing and demonstrating the step-by-step layered painting and stamping techniques used to create this plaque...including my twist on how to use the "masks" included with many of the IOD stamp sets.
In addition to this limited edition "Fruitful Harvest" stamp set, several other stamp sets will be available in this workshop for sharing to create your own unique sign... Sunflowers, branches, vines, florals and more!

This workshop is scheduled for 4 hours to give everyone the extra time to really enjoy the planning, layering and painting processes. I will be painting and distressing the boards in advance. (approximate board size 16" tall by 11" wide)
You are welcome to bring coffee and snacks to power you through!
I will look forward to seeing you!

All in all it will be a fun and creative time! 
(In the last workshop, some students completed 2 boards!)

And so that you won't feel rushed creating, the sessions are 2 hours long.
If you finish more quickly...awesome! And if you need the time, you've got it!

"Florals on Glass" Vintage Window Workshop

Join me for this fun workshop..."IOD Florals on Glass". This will be the last window workshop until 2022. 
I am always amazed at the gorgeous windows created in this workshop! Each piece is unique to the person creating it. 
The workshop fee includes a new IOD transfer set, SINGLE-PANE vintage window, and "community use" of studio transfers to add embellishments to your window art. (Each session I have a new collection of SINGLE-PANE vintage windows from which to choose...small and large, chippy white, green, stained and more. 

When registering for this workshop, there will be a menu option for each of the transfer choices...the quantity of each transfer in-hand now and set aside for this workshop is also noted here.
 To complete your registration, you will select the transfer you would like set aside for you. As the transfer sets differ in price, the workshop fee will be either $69 or $79 based upon the transfer you choose.
These are all such gorgeous transfers...it can be a difficult choice!
So that you can see the designs in their entirety, I have included both the front and back sides of the transfer packaging for each design on the registration page for this workshop.

The smaller transfer sets have 4 pages...the larger sets have 8 pages of individual elements to create a truly customized piece.
I will be creating a window right along side of you using the "Painterly Florals" set to demonstrate how to design, layer and apply these to your window...as well as future projects.
In the previous workshops, some students chose to use the entire transfer...others chose to use only portions of the transfers and keep the remainder to create other projects at home.
PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE ACTUALLY ONLY 7 SEATS AVAILABLE IN THIS WORKSHOP. ​ Especially during these very unusual and unpredictable times, some transfers can be out-of-stock with IOD. I have listed the quantity of each transfer design that I have in hand and set aside for this workshop.
THERE ARE MORE TOTAL TRANSFER SETS AVAILABLE THAN SEATS. ONCE I AM NOTIFIED THAT THERE ARE 7 REGISTRATIONS, THE WORKSHOP WILL BE CLOSED.
Therefore, PLEASE register early to set aside your 1st choice!
THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON THIS WORKSHOP. IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL, WE MUST BE NOTIFIED 48 HOURS PRIOR TO THE WORKSHOP TO RECEIVE CREDIT TOWARDS FUTURE WORKSHOP.
Call me if you have any questions!!!
This is always such a fun and creative day! I can't wait to see you! 
WORKSHOP DATE:
SUNDAY, NOV. 21st - 10:30am-2:30pm

This is always a fun and creative day!

Furniture Painting Workshops
​with Laura


​Intro to Furniture Painting

In this new and fast moving workshop, you will create the simple clean...yet lightly distressed..layered paint finishes you see and love on Instagram and Pinterest!
You don't need to buy new furniture! Laura will show you how to renew and re-do your existing furniture easily and with confidence to fit your decor style.
After discussing basic prep instructions, everyone will paint on molding and wood pieces using Debi's DIY Paints (awesome chalk & clay paint!).
Experience how easy it is to layer paint colors, and then watch the magic as you rub back the top layer to reveal the previous stained or painted layers. Learn how to protect your beautiful painted finishes. As the final touch, see what a little bit of wax or antiquing can do to switch things up a bit...Pure awesomeness! These top notch paints have their own nuances. Experience them for yourself and then choose the paint that best fits each of your painting projects!
New!!! We will use Iron Orchid Design alphabet stamps and molds to make your paint samples into fun rustic plaques...can't let a painted wood piece go to waste...right?
​Fee: $40 (includes everything)

Bring Your Own (BYO) Furniture Painting Day Workshop

This is your day…How much you accomplish is all up to you!  Students have finished a chair (or 2), end table, lamp base, nightstand, etc. If you are super motivated, talk to Laura about bringing a larger piece and see how much you can accomplish in a day!!! You are welcome to bring an additional piece with you to work on if there is any “wait time” you want to fill and to keep busy. Some students have brought smaller projects for an easier painting day. All of the paints and tools in Studio Primrose are available to you during the workshop to create your finish! Your painting experience, the size of your piece, and the complexity of your paint finish will all determine whether you complete your project during the workshop or if you may need to purchase the supplies to complete the project at home. Varnishing and/or waxing will need to be finished at home to give your gorgeous paint finish plenty of time to dry before the application of a protective finish.
​Fee: $55.00 - Returning 2022

PLEASE bring any snacks or drinks to keep you going!
***To maximize your workshop time, your piece should be cleaned and prepped before the workshop!
Intro to Furniture Painting is not required. If you have any questions regarding your project, Laura asks that you contact her before the workshop to discuss your furniture piece and what you would like to accomplish.
Project Ideas include: nightstand, end table, dining chairs, etc. We suggest that the size of your project piece should be approximately the size of your CARRY ON LUGGAGE SIZE! After talking with Laura, you may choose to bring a larger piece. However, please keep in mind that you may not be able to finish it during the workshop time. ​
