Private Class at HAPPY FRIENDS ATELIER – Being Creative Together, Each with Their Own Piece of Furniture

Don’t want to get creative all by yourself? Then grab a friend and work together to turn two old pieces of furniture into two one-of-a-kind pieces that are uniquely yours. Each of you will work on your own project.

In this two-day private course, I’ll personally guide you from the initial idea to the finished piece of furniture. Together, we’ll develop suitable designs, and I’ll walk you through various techniques—step by step—covering preparation, design, and finishing.

We work with water-based chalk mineral paints. Depending on your projects, preferences, and my recommendations, we can incorporate techniques such as minor repairs, color gradients, textures, stenciling, decoupage, transfer sheets, stamps, and various decorative elements and ornaments.

Extensive repairs and restorations are not part of the course. If any of your furniture requires such work, it should be completed before the course begins.

Course duration: 2 days, 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each day
Course location: Elfen & Helden Studio in Marburg
Scheduling: After booking and payment, you’ll receive a link to my online calendar. If there isn’t a suitable time slot available there, we’ll arrange a time individually.

Included in the course fee:

• Colors, as well as selected materials and decorative elements from my creative collection
• Drinks and light snacks on both days

Each of you will bring a small- to medium-sized piece of furniture, such as a side table or nightstand. At the end of the two days, you’ll take your newly redesigned, one-of-a-kind pieces home with you.

Don’t have the right furniture or can’t transport it? In that case, I can provide pieces of furniture for you to work on during the workshop at no additional cost. These will remain in my possession afterward, but you may purchase them if we agree on a price beforehand. Alternatively, you can book the private class ONLINE and work from the comfort of your own home.

Courses are available in German and English.

Scheduled appointments are binding and may be canceled or rescheduled up to 48 hours in advance. If canceled later than that, 50% of the course fee will be forfeited unless a replacement participant can be found.

If you’d like to use exclusive decorative elements or WoodUbends for your projects, you can purchase them during the class at a special price.
