It's all demonstrated by Stuart Miles, Company Director at My Furniture Box in Swindon, Wiltshire, where he teaches people in his own purpose built workshop, all the techniques and tips in this course. He's an expert in his field having gained all his experience from many years of working on projects from designing hand painted kitchens to dental clinics and property development.
" Stuart is very helpful, he has given me really good advice on the Frenchic paint, how to use it and the benefits of the different waxes,also the finishing top coat. my grandson and I recently attended one of his workshops. We both enjoyed it and learnt so much. Highly recommend " Gill Stranks
