Decorative Paint Techniques Masterclass

If you have been looking for a way to refresh your furniture or simply want to pick up some new skills, there is a masterclass coming up in Brighton that might catch your interest. On August 18, 2026, Jonathon Marc Mendes is hosting a session focused entirely on decorative paint techniques. For those who follow furniture design or have spent time trying to restore older pieces, his name is likely familiar, as he is well-known for his specific approach to transforming furniture through paint.

The session is structured as a masterclass, which suggests a practical, hands-on environment rather than a lecture. The focus is strictly on the technical side of things—learning how to apply these decorative finishes effectively. Given the nature of the event, it is aimed at people who already have an interest in interior design, furniture restoration, or perhaps those who just want to get better at DIY projects at home. It is the kind of workshop where you go to learn specific methods directly from someone who works in the field professionally.

Brighton has a pretty active community when it comes to arts and crafts, so it makes sense to see this kind of event pop up locally. While the details on the specific cost aren't public, it is worth noting that this is a professional-led masterclass, so it is a paid event. If you are planning your calendar for late summer, this is happening on a Tuesday, which is a bit different from the usual weekend workshop schedule. It is a straightforward opportunity to spend a day focusing on technique with an experienced designer, without any extra fluff or unnecessary fanfare.
