FUSION MINERAL PAINT
ARTIST OF THE WEEK, July 2026
It’s a huge privilege to be named Fusion Mineral Paint’s UK and EU Artist of the Week across their social channels.
Fusion Mineral Paint is my go-to paint for upcycling projects due to its high quality coverage, colour range, inbuilt top coat, and low VOC content. All the designs you see here have been created using Fusion colours or paint mixing techniques.
WORKSHOP RELOCATION, MAY 2025
Say HELLO to The Odd Thing’s new workshop in Antrobus, Cheshire!
After 6 years based on Wharf Industrial Estate in the centre of Warrington, I’ve relocated to a converted barn on a private estate in Antrobus. The workshop is set over two floors, which is great for separating clean and dusty work areas.
Please note, visits to the new workshop are by appointment only.
