​Creative DIY Project Workshops
​with Laura

Thank you to everyone for your support and patience during these very unusual times. It has been so great to see some of you over the last few weeks! And I am so excited that I am beginning to offer workshops on a limited basis. To adhere to CDC recommendations, I will be limiting the number of students to 4-5 depending upon the set up of the studio 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.
I have just added two workshops back into the schedule. And I'm busy creating projects for new workshops. As I create them, I will be adding them to the schedule...so please check back soon!
Please "like" or "follow" Studio Primrose on Facebook to be notified of new workshops as they are posted...especially as the seating will be limited.
Please be safe and healthy! Blessings to all of you and your families...Laura

Christmas Ornament
Make-N-Take Workshop

Join me for this fun and simple workshop! Choosing from the samples pictured, everyone will paint and complete ONE oversized (9"tall x 6-1/2" wide) ornament in this 45 minute Make-N-Take session. All of the letters and snowflakes have an adhesive backing making it easy and no-mess to apply them to your ornament.
To practice "safe distancing", there are only 5 seats available for each of these sessions. Looking forward to seeing you!!!

Please note...although this is a "drop-in" workshop, I recommend that you pre-register as I only can open 5 seats in each workshop to practice "safe distancing" in the studio. Thank you!

Thank you for joining me!

Holiday Sled Workshop

​I've waited a year to offer this as a workshop! These unfinished wood sleds arrived too late for a workshop last year.
So I am so thrilled to offer this workshop in time for you to display in your home for this holiday season!
I will be staining the sleds in advance. You will paint, stencil and decorate them with a jute bow and frosty greenery.
them
What a fun holiday decoration to bring "a feeling of winter" to our Arizona homes. Can't wait to see you in this fun workshop!
 
***Space is limited to 6 students, with their own separate table, and approximately 6 feet apart.***
 

This was sooo much fun!

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)
to make room for holiday workshops, this workshop will return in 2021!
Location: Studio Primrose at The Rustic Hutch

​Aged, Crackled & Rustic Painted Finishes for Furniture

Add Farmhouse or Rustic charm to your home with the paint finishes you will learn and create in this workshop. The textures of these painted finishes not only look fabulous...they are great for hiding the imperfections on your furniture or thrift store finds and are sure to turn them into show stopping furniture pieces! You will learn...
-
cracked and chippy layered paint finishes
-straight-off-the-side of the barn weathered grey wood finishes
- aging and distressing techniques (build on the techniques learned in the Intro workshop!) to accentuate the nooks and crannies. These products make the process so quick and easy!

NEW!!! We will use Iron Orchid Design alphabet stamps and molds to make your paint samples into fun rustic signs......How fun is that?! 
Fee: $45 (includes everything)
to make room for holiday workshops, this workshop will return in 2021!
Location: Studio Primrose (At The Rustic Hutch)

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.
Early registration recommended…limited spaces avail!
to make room for holiday workshops, this workshop will return in 2021!
​
​Fee: $55.00

Workshop location: Studio Primrose (at The Rustic Hutch) 

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. ​
