ONLINE COURSE: Cutting Edge Furniture Upcycling with Done up North

Everything you need to know to create Striking & Stylish Upcycled Vintage furniture with super smooth, long-lasting finishes, unique designs and new contemporary fittings.

You'll learn how to select, prepare, paint and finish furniture to a professional standard as well as learn the essential techniques I have developed over time which will mean you can go on to create stunning, unique hand cut tape designs for yourself, without needing to go through all that trial and error too. 

Work alongside me as I create one of my signature Drinks Cabinets by upcycling an old tallboy type cabinet from start-to-finish and you can create your own uniquely upcycled piece too.

What this Course will also give you:

• Learning from an experienced Professional Furniture Upcycler makes so much easier for you to enjoy the process of creating your own upcycled designs from the very start.
• You can be sure you are learning tried-and-trusted techniques without having to risk experimenting yourself with products and processes yourself.
• I share my favourite tips and tricks, which go much deeper than straight forward instructions, as well as the 'whys' of product choice and application processes, which will really help you feel ready to move on to tackle more projects.
• You will also learn ways to express your own creativity and build your confidence in your capability to be an upcycler. 

I've worked hundreds of aspiring upcyclers in the past 5 or 6 years, both in person and online - some of whom have moved on to become Professionals themselves!

Here is what some of my lovely work shoppers have had to say about learning with me: 

"Just completed the upcycling workshop with Nicky at Done up North. It was a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Lots of useful tips and help along the way. Nicky makes the day very enjoyable and meeting other like minded 'upcyclers' from those of us who are novices to those already giving it a go. I would highly recommend her workshops. I especially enjoyed giving the geometric designs a go (with Nicky's help) and I am pleased with my finished result."

"Nicky was brilliant!!!! A mine of information on all aspects, learning different techniques, with masking tape blows your mind with the outcome. It was a real fun experience and the time just whizzed by. It was great to see other people’s vision for their pieces and the results. Book on to a workshop you will not be disappointed. A great big thumbs up 👍 from me 😁"

"Before I started working with Nicky, I was struggling to know where to start with masking tape design and what order you did the different steps. But I’m so glad I joined her workshop as I learnt all the skills I needed. Nicky really helped me get clear on the process, the tools required, how to avoid mistakes and importantly, when mistakes do happen, how to correct them!"  

"I was not feeling confident about my skills and I was worried about making basic mistakes. Now, I feel so much more prepared to take on work and challenges in my journey with upcycling! Nicky provided awesome resources and guidance that I can keep with me forever."

I am looking forward seeing the amazing things you upcycle!
