Atelier Tutco

Claire was a pleasure to deal with - positive, helpful, and most importantly she's a great communicator, and a consummate professional. She and her team transformed our expensive 30 year old English oak (brown!) furniture, all 17 pieces, some large and heavy, into elegant pastel coloured furniture, so much more fitting to our new house. She gave them a new lease of life. My wife and I would strongly recommend The Upcycled Reading Company.

Lots of beautiful items that have been lovingly Upcycled... Hand painted furniture, paints for your own home projects, candles, lampshades, rugs and much more. Support local, independent shops!

I thoroughly enjoyed the chalk and mineral paint course and came away with tips and the confidence to start my own project. Claire was so easy to get along with, a good listener and a very good teacher. I would recommend attending one of her courses with no hesitation. Thank you Claire for a very chilled and informative afternoon.

Earlier in the Winter a friend bought me a superb scarf/shawl woven from recycled wool. A week or so ago my Partner bought me the most beautiful dish in a matching box made from recycled aluminium with a superbly painted picture of a long hornedHighland cow on a white background. As I’m a lover of this particular breed, I really appreciated this most unusual gift. It was made all the more special knowing the proceeds of the sale were helping someone in India. A most delightful shop for gifts ...
