I still remember getting my first vintage furniture and I was so full of ideas! I was going to paint it and put a cool paper on it. So, I started furiously googling a million questions, only to find myself exhausted a few hours later and no closer to any answers.

Painting is fantastic for the mind and soul. It allows you to be as creative as you want to be. It switches off the noises of the outside world and refuels you in just a few short hours.

And, with a little bit of help it does become your ‘happy place’ instead of a source of constant frustration.

Welcome to our Introduction to Upcycling Workshop.

At Studio Twentyseven we have been transforming furniture for 6 years but everything started with a small table.

My name is Kata Roberts and I’m the Owner of Studio Twentyseven and Founder of Academy 27. I still remember my first little table I created.

I worked in my dining room, with the music on, and within a day I had my first table finished. I felt relaxed, happy and very proud when I finished my creation.

In this Course I’ll introduce you to the main steps of furniture upcycling with the bonus step of Decoupage (the art of applying paper to furniture) and creating a completely new look for your piece.

This Workshop is prerecorded and can be watched in your own time. You’ll have lifetime access to the contents.
