You already know to expect a whole heap of amazing, colourful, unique pieces at the Refreshed Furniture Pop-Up Shop on Saturday, September 20th in the Malenka Originals parking lot.
But we’re also offering some fun stuff in the store, including demonstrations of some exciting Chalk Paint™ techniques and ideas.
Here’s the demonstration schedule:
11:00 — Getting started with Chalk Paint™
If you’re new to Chalk Paint™, or just need a refresher, we’ll be demonstrating the basic steps of painting and how to achieve certain finishes. We’ll also go over waxing technique, with both the Clear Soft Wax and Dark. Also hear about which brushes work best, and other tips for getting yourself started with Chalk Paint™. (This demo will also be repeated at 2:30).
12:00 — Painting The House Red…and every other colour!
Katrina will be discussing her recent project painting her kitchen cupboards and linoleum floor. She’ll also talk about other surfaces in the home that work great with a coat of Chalk Paint™. Many kitchen cupboard samples will be on hand, plus Katrina will do a demo on a few different finishes for kitchen cupboards.
1:00 — Waxing Divine
Come with all your waxing questions and problems! In this demo, which is a shortened version of her waxing workshop, Katrina will cover some of the common problems her customers have with the wax, plus offer some other interesting options for using the wax. Learn about mixing other products with your wax to achieve new colours, plus hear about gilding wax and how it works.
2:00 — Fabric and other surprising surfaces
So many of our customers are surprised and excited to hear that Chalk Paint™ can also be used on fabric, and this demonstration will show you how. We’ll be painting and waxing an upholstered chair, as well as a lamp (the base and shade). Also learn how to dye fabric using Chalk Paint™.
