Description
We are so excited to offer our first Maker's Workshop Day by the Sea!
Join us to make 4 beautiful coastal inspired projects. We will be doing a variety of creative projects.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!! Just come as you are and paint, our goal is to inspire you to have fun first, play with some paint and explore some new creative ideas. :)
Come and have fun and get your paint on!
Everything included. All projects, materials, instructions, light lunch, coffee, tea, water, snacks.
We will be creating the following projects:
1) Rustic Vintage Tray
2) Stencil a canvas pillow, or a burlap pillow or runner
3) Pallet Sign - choose from Nova Scotia map cut (not shown, they are just being made for this workshop for us) or choose from a variety of words to add to your pallet including family, love, farmhouse
4) Paint a whale (it's easy I promise)
*bonus surprise project as well
ps...we have lots of non-coastal stencils for those of you not into the coastal look :)
Please wear your paint-friendly clothing, grab your girlfriends, sisters, mother or come alone. Light lunch and yummy snacks are included. Come enjoy a relaxing and creative day with us AND have a few laughs at the same time.
Our new studio by the sea is located right smack dab on the Lunenburg waterfront. We overlook the Lunenburg Waterfront and are just a few steps away from the Bluenose II's berth and all the fun on the wharf.
Seriously- we will be making and painting while watching boats bob and horses clip-clop lazily by.
Project images are just for inspiration.

Can't wait to see you there!

Paint up a canvas or burlap pillow or table runner (we have a large selection of stencils, lots of seaside inspired, lots of non seaside ones too)

Want more? A note from Wendy...
I’ve been a DIY’er along with my husband for so long we can’t remember not being into DIY! We bought our first house on a shoestring budget and just made do with DIY. I’m lucky to be married to Mr. FPM, my best friend (cheesy right?), I have 2 grown children (and oh my gosh a new grand baby girl Ava Rose – so fun) and we just made a big change in our life and moved to our lil cottage by the sea in Blue Rocks NS!
I am a dreamer and a doer and there is ALWAYS another project on the horizon.
I truly believe paint has the power to rock your world!
Simple pleasures are the best.
I’d love to meet you! I hope you will join us at the next workshop!
Wendy
