My First {EVER} Milk Paint Class A Teaching Revival

 

 My Very First {EVER} Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint Class

And by ‘EVER’ I mean I’ve only ever taught preschool….to preschoolers. Grown-ups are a whole other ballgame as is teaching a skill! It’s weird to me because I’ve learned by trial and error and where does one begin to teach that in a class?!

Refreshments are always a good place to start, no?

I may or may not have been a little nervous. My family sent me flowers. That was sweet. I will always remember that!

I got the classroom all set up the day before and decorated with various Milk Paint painted frames. These are examples of the project we’d be doing in class that day. {Pictured on right is Flow Blue, Left Ironstone}

The Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint color chart so everyone could pick their favorite to work with. {This frame was done in Kitchen Scale}

Having everything done the day before was the only reason I slept that night. Everyone got a FAQ sheet, a color chart, a mason jar (because there is nothing better to use!), a paint brush, stir stick, measuring cup and picture frame. I also laid out notepads and pencils for note taking…because, you know, I’m a teacher.

The worst part about being nervous is that you forget to take pictures DURING the class. I hate that! I remembered pics before and I remembered pictures after. Sadly, I remembered so late that this picture only includes half of the class. And thankfully these guys were willing to humor me and pose for a picture. I might’ve begged a little, truth be told.

I hate that I missed getting pictures during class and of all of my “students”! I had a wonderful time teaching this class and I hope everyone who attended did as well. I didn’t pass out even once!

We’ll be scheduling another class in February. I hope you’ll join me then if you missed out on this one. We also have some other great classes coming up and are even toying with the idea of offering workshops online. Is that something you’d be interested in? Let me know in the comments below!

    If I lived even remotely close to you, I’d come to every class you ever did. That being said, I would love to participate in an online workshop. Wonderful idea!

    If you decide to conduct an online class, you can count me in. I have a piece that is crying for chalk paint.
