Vella will demonstrate paint techniques with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Annie Sloan developed her now famous decorative paint, Chalk Paint, more than 20 years ago to answer the need she had for a versatile paint that would have many uses from acting like lime wash to looking like old painted furniture. She called it Chalk Paint because of its beautiful velvety, matte finish.
Cabot Mill Antiques is fully accessible and will feature 20 percent off storewide savings Sunday. For information, call Deborah Stufflebeam at 725- 2855, 607-4514 or email cabot@waterfrontme.com.
