Trunkfull of Art - Trunk Restoration Workshop

Turn an ordinary metal box into a vibrant, heirloom-style keepsake trunk full of character, color, and raised texture.

In this guided, hands-on workshop by Deepakriti Institute of Creative Arts, you will explore the art of trunk restoration and mixed-media surface styling. Moving step by step from a raw metallic base to a finished decorative piece, you will combine vintage botanical motifs, bold geometric striping, and 3D relief stenciling to create a functional art object for your home.

What You Will Learn & Create:
Surface Prep & Base Priming: Learn how to prepare a metal trunk surface so paints and textures adhere smoothly and last for years.
Color Blocking & Stippled Blending: Create warm, vintage-inspired gradients, crisp striped borders, and metallic rim highlights.
Botanical Detailing & 3D Relief Work: Apply classic floral focal motifs on the lid and build raised 3D leaf-and-vine relief textures along the sides of your trunk.

What Is Included:
Complete Art Kit: A sturdy metal keepsake trunk with latch, paints, 3D texture pastes, stencils, vintage floral motifs, brushes, and all required studio supplies.
Guided Instruction: Beginner-friendly, step-by-step mentoring from experienced artists in an unhurried setting.
Take-Home Keepsake: Walk away with your completed, hand-painted decorative trunk - ready to store jewelry, trinkets, memories, or festive gifts.
