New Workshop! Egg and Nest: Make Your Own Chalk Paint and Glazes


CM Shaw Studios Workshop: 
How to Make your Own Chalk Paint 
and Work With Glazes
UPDATE: CLASS POSTPONED
Just as all this snow has been super unexpected, I've had some things crop up out of the air. The class needs to be postponed until a bit later this season. So sorry for any inconvenience this causes you.

When: Postponed

Where: TBD

Cost: $85 ($75 with *discount code if you register by April 1st)

*enter discount code EGGANDNEST at checkout



This winter has been so long and cold. Why don't you come and brighten things up by learning to make your own chalk paint? Just think of all that latex paint sitting in your garage, waiting for a new life as chalk paint. You'll use two different methods to make chalk paint and I'll share my own experiences with a few more. Once we're all stirred up, we'll learn a simple driftwood glazing technique. 


You could make your whole house look like a Restoration Hardware ad.

Once you are feeling more comfortable using a glaze, we will practice using the new paint to create layered glazes and make realistic looking faux eggs. 

We'll use three different techniques to 
make our little eggs look real.


You can do this! 


It just looks hard.


When you are done, you'll have something like this to take home and look at 
instead of the snow.


So come paint with me and let's forget about the cold and welcome the spring. 
Just in time for Easter.


  • All materials will be provided. 
  • Please wear painting clothes that can get messy. This class is not one for your Sunday best. 
  • You will also go home with a Free sample of Webster's Chalk Paint powder and a wax sample, which should be enough to chalk paint a small bench or med-large picture frame.

Can't wait to see who comes!
