A crafty morning painting wooden bird feeders, ceramic pot plants and wooden photo frames with O'Grady's Chalk Paint. We learnt different techniques like chalk painting,  distressing, decoupage and stencilling. The ad said "come & make your own special Christmas present for your loved ones/family & friends". I can't speak for the others but I am keeping mine😜

After wanting to learn to work with pewter for quite some time, we decided to finally give it a bash. Lee, of The Pewter Room, was our teacher for the afternoon and the class took place at her studio in Melkbos.

We learned to work with pewter sheeting and 'master' the various techniques of how to emboss, decorate and age this gorgeous substrate.

It was an enjoyable class and we all came away with a beautiful notebook with decorated pewter front and back covers. The girls brought along an array of delicious snacks and bubbly which rounded off the day beautifully. 

All in all it was a very informative, rewarding experience which many of us would like to attempt again.
