Get ready to start seeing your old junk in a new light.

An award winning workshop taking place in the Cricket Club later this month will send you home with a new piece of furniture to kick start your new upcycling obsession.

Delivered by Joanne Condon of Kyle Lane, author of Furniture Crush, the workshop will take place on Saturday, March 23rd from 10am until 5pm.

During the day, the tutorials will cover a variety of different techniques to enhance and transform your furniture.

Suitable for both beginners and more accomplished DIYers, the workshop teach participants the following skills:

• Preparing and painting furniture
• Applying wallpaper/gift paper/maps etc. to furniture
• Transferring lettering and typography to furniture
• Stencils
• Techniques and creating geometric designs
• Applying gold leaf
• Distressing and ageing furniture effectively 

Every person who takes the workshop will go home with a small item such as a locker as well as a booklet of course content. A light lunch will also be served.

Tickets are €165 (cheaper than a pair of IKEA side tables) here.
