Furniture Painting & Craft Classes · St. Augustine, FL

Bring your piece.
Leave with something you made.

Small, hands-on classes a few times a month at the Coconut Barrel studio. Every skill level is welcome — especially the ones who say they aren’t crafty.

What a class is like

Real instruction, one person at a time

These aren’t follow-the-leader paint nights. You work on your own project, at your own pace, with someone right beside you the whole way.

01

All skill levels welcome

Never held a paint brush? Perfect. Been refinishing for years? Also perfect. Instruction is matched to where you are, not to a script.

02

Hands-on and one-on-one

Classes stay small on purpose. You get direct, personal guidance — technique demonstrated on your piece, questions answered as they come up.

03

Bring your own piece

A thrift-store nightstand, a hand-me-down dresser, a chair that deserves better. You bring the project; the studio supplies the know-how.

The Studio

A permanent home inside Coconut Barrel

Classes are held in a dedicated studio space at Coconut Barrel, The Artisan Market — a warm, light-filled marketplace of local makers just south of historic downtown St. Augustine.

Come early or stay after and browse the market. It’s a good excuse either way.

Sheree’s Work

Old pieces, given another life

Alongside teaching, Sheree finds quality furniture worth saving — and repaints, repairs and repurposes it into something with a bit of coastal character.

Products

The supplies Sheree actually uses

SeaBreezy Designs carries Iron Orchid Designs decor transfers, moulds and stamps, along with Rethunk Junk paint and finishing products — the same lines Sheree uses in class and on her own furniture.

Ask about what suits your project and Sheree will point you to the right product rather than the most expensive one.
