This Three Day Event will be hosted at Reinvintage Warehouse in Spartanburg, SC! This former Textile Warehouse is home to more than 20,000 square feet of vintage and artisan shopping with lots of room for creativity and community!
Attendees will learn from our four Featured Artists during five separate workshop style creative sessions lasting 3 hours each! That’s 15 hours of creative instruction! Attendees will be split into two groups for these sessions so that everyone has plenty of opportunity for questions and one-on-one advice from our artists!
As a bonus, this three day event bumps up to our Spring Artisan Market! So in addition to the three day event, our out of town guests can stick around an extra day for a one of a kind shopping experience!
One thing all four of your teachers for this event have in common is a love of DIY Paint, and a heart for Furniture Art! So our very first Creative Session will be a collaborative one! You will have the opportunity to ask questions and learns tips, tricks and techniques from all four artists. We will work together on a single piece of furniture, and yes - one lucky attendee will get to take it home!

Finally I, Danielle Kaminski, am the host artist for this event! I love working with textures and textiles. I especially love incorporating sentimental textiles into artwork to create heirloom pieces that you can enjoy now while also passing your stories on through the generations.
In my Creative Session we will explore the use of texture and textile embellishments in our artwork. Students are welcome to bring some of their own textiles to incorporate or existing work canvas works to embellish in this session.
Ticket Cost is $650 per attendee. In addition to the creative sessions and supplies, tickets include dinner all three evenings and a continental breakfast at Reinvintage Warehouse on Thursday and Friday.
