Join artist Danielle Neale, founder of Argent & Sable, for a creative afternoon exploring the power of words, colour and self-expression.
You’ll choose a word that resonates with you — something that inspires, strengthens or brings you joy — and transform it into a beautifully hand-painted wooden sign.
Leave with a finished piece ready to hang in your home
Many people come on their own — it’s always a warm, welcoming group
All materials, guidance and refreshments included
What you’ll do
In this hands-on workshop, I’ll guide you step-by-step through:
Exploring the power of words & the word you’ve chosen
Exploring colour using Annie Sloan paints
Painting your board
Cutting and applying your stencil
Painting your word and adding decorative details and finishing touches
We’ll be working on reclaimed wood, giving each piece its own unique character.
A creative and meaningful experience
This is more than just a workshop — it’s a chance to slow down, reconnect with your creativity and make something personal.
People say they leave feeling relaxed, inspired and proud of what they’ve created.
“Loved being creative in a supported space… I’m so pleased with my piece!”
“A wonderful afternoon — inspiring, friendly and welcoming.”
