Classes & Workshops
Small, hands-on classes held a few times a month at the Coconut Barrel studio in St. Augustine — one-on-one instruction, on the piece you bring.
How it works
Send a message about what you’d like to make. You’ll hear back with upcoming dates and details.
Bring your own furniture or project piece. Not sure if it will work? Send a photo and ask.
Arrive at Coconut Barrel. Supplies, tools and guidance are waiting for you.
You leave with a finished piece — and the technique to do the next one on your own.
What you can learn
Sessions are shaped around what you want to make. These are the most common starting points — if what you have in mind isn’t here, just ask.
The core class. Bring a dresser, nightstand, table or chair and learn how to prep it, paint it and finish it properly so it lasts. Colour choice, brushwork, layering and sealing — all worked out on your actual piece.
Learn to use Iron Orchid Designs products with confidence — positioning and burnishing a transfer without tearing it, casting from moulds, and stamping detail that looks intentional rather than added on.
For anyone who wants depth rather than a flat coat. Build up texture, layer colours, and work back through them to get an aged, coastal, weathered look that feels earned.
Smaller, shorter sessions for when a full piece of furniture is more than you want to take on — signs, frames, seasonal decor and repurposed finds. A friendly way to try a technique before committing to a dresser.
