Very informative and fun too! Came away confident to use the paints and eager to practice some of the techniques shown. Lovely atmosphere with small group and so felt there was time for specific questions about my own projects and also interesting to hear what others plan to do. Would highly recommend.

What a gorgeous afternoon. There were only 2 of us so it was like a private 'masterclass'! A great introduction to get started. We learned the basics & I can't wait to experiment. Lottie was fun, thorough & such a great teacher. It was such an enjoyable few hours.

What a brilliant workshop this was! Lottie was welcoming and her workshop space was neat, well laid out and with deference to Covid with fresh air flowing. The workshop was fascinating and in a morning session we learnt so many great painting techniques for up-cycling furniture. Lottie was attentive and answered all our questions fully and patiently. Such a happy experience. Definitely recommend it and will be booking another Minerva Studios course very soon!

The Introduction to Annie Sloan Chalk paint was brilliant, thoroughly enjoyable. Such a lovely group and Lottie talked us through all the possibilities as we tried it all ourselves. Thank you Lottie for a great session. I'd highly recommend it to anyone of any ability looking to discover Annie Sloan Chalk Paints.

I attended the Annie Sloane workshop to try out the paint, the colours and learn all about techniques. And it is easier than you think. Lottie (my teacher) was an inspiration- full of painting tips and ideas - and super patient and kind. She has a great relaxed space to paint in and I so enjoyed the workshop and valued her advice.

I had a lovely time learning all about Annie Sloan's chalk paint and techniques. Lottie is a great teacher - she made us feel comfortable to ask questions and develop our techniques and ideas. She was a wealth of information not just on chalk paints but other materials too. The class was paced just right with enough time to explore the main paint colours and methods. I feel ready to start painting my own furniture now!
