There is something genuinely special about learning a new skill with your hands. Our furniture painting workshops at Sweet Pea Interiors are designed to give you the confidence, techniques and inspiration to transform furniture yourself — and to leave with something beautiful you actually made.
Whether you have never picked up a paintbrush before or you are looking to refine your technique, our workshops are welcoming, practical and a lot of fun.
What Happens at a Sweet Pea Interiors Workshop
Each workshop is hands-on from the start. You will work on a real piece of furniture using our artisan mineral paints and chalk finish paints, learning practical techniques that you can take home and use on your own projects straight away.
Workshops cover the essentials — surface preparation, paint application, layering, distressing and finishing — as well as how to choose the right paint colour and hardware for your piece. You will also get to browse our range of handmade handles and knobs and see how the right hardware can completely transform a painted piece.
What You Will Learn
- How to prepare a furniture surface for painting
- How to apply mineral paint and chalk finish paint for a smooth, professional result
- Layering and distressing techniques for a beautiful, aged finish
- How to seal and protect your painted piece for lasting results
- How to choose paint colours that work in your home

Who Our Workshops Are For
Our workshops are completely beginner-friendly — no experience required. They are perfect for anyone who wants to learn furniture painting from scratch, DIY enthusiasts looking to expand their skills, people who have bought secondhand furniture and want to give it a new life, and anyone who loves creating something beautiful with their own hands.
What to Expect
Workshops are held in a relaxed, creative environment with a small group of like-minded people. All materials are provided — paint, brushes, sealers and a piece of furniture to work on. You will leave with your finished piece, a new set of skills and plenty of inspiration for your next project at home.
Paint Colours Available at Workshops
At our workshops you will have access to our full range of artisan mineral paint colours, including coastal whites like Cotton, Ghost Gum and Natural Linen, beautiful greens like Eucalypt, French Green and Highlands, coastal blues like Hampton Blue and Seaglass, and warm tones like Dusky Rose, Golden Sand and Acacia.
