A Creative Morning Hand Painting Candle Shades with Alvaro Picardo
What a fabulous way to spend a morning! We recently hosted a wonderful workshop where creativity flourished under the expert guidance of Alvaro Picardo. Renowned for his artistic flair and meticulous craftsmanship, Alvaro led an inspiring session on hand painting candle shades, showcasing the beauty of bespoke design.
Using the gorgeous paints from Fenwick and Tilbrook, attendees were guided step by step to transform plain candle shades into unique, hand-painted works of art. Fenwick and Tilbrook’s richly pigmented and beautifully textured paints were a joy to work with, offering an endless palette of colours to spark the imagination.
As brushes danced across the paper, Alvaro shared his techniques, tips, and design secrets. From bold stripes to delicate patterns, every shade was a testament to the individual creativity of our participants. The room was filled with vibrant chatter, a splash of colour on every table, and an atmosphere of relaxed, creative focus. Adding to the joy of the morning, the lovely Kristen from NG Feather joined us with her gorgeous daughter. Her beautifully behaved baby brought a heartwarming touch to the atmosphere, making the workshop feel even more special.
By the end of the session, each participant left with their own personalised candle shade - a unique piece that not only added a touch of artistry to their home but also served as a wonderful reminder of a delightful morning spent in great company.
We love hosting events like these that allow creatives to come together, try something new, and discover hidden talents. A huge thank you to Alvaro for sharing his expertise and to Fenwick and Tilbrook for their stunning paints that brought each design to life.
If you’re looking to explore your creative side, stay tuned for our upcoming workshops. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a total beginner, we guarantee you’ll leave inspired (and with something beautiful to show for it)!
Thank you Malek for the gorgeous photographs.
With love Anna, Annie, Alvaro and Anna xxx
