Decoupage

Art Workshop (On-site / Virtual) Available too!

Decoupage is a technique that embraces the ideology behind “found art”: creating a finished piece from materials or images collected and adhering them onto a form to give them new meaning. Perfect your skills by enrolling in a decoupage class — you will soon be capable of producing gorgeous creations in a time-honored style.

This art form is easily adapted to personal styles and artistic goals. Through easy-to-follow tutorials, you will begin to understand the different types of materials suitable to the craft. For example, almost anything can become a canvas for decoupage. This includes cardboard, wood, boxes, tabletops, cardstock, plastic items, glass, and more. With the correct mix of ingredients and a little time and effort, any surface can be transformed by decoupage. Classes will also teach you the correct techniques for beautiful projects. Start out with tissue paper, photographs, pictures from magazines or newspapers, or photocopies of printed visuals that have some common theme, meaning, or simply look appealing together. Once you settle on an effective arrangement of images, glue each one down with plain white glue. Mix the glue with equal parts water, then brush a thin coat of the mixture over the images. Wait until the coat is completely dry — you may use a hair dryer to speed up the process — then continue to add coats until the surface is smooth and glossy.

Decoupage is a wonderful technique for truly personal gifts. Make copies of family photos and decoupage a photo album with a tasteful collage. Dry your own flowers to decoupage onto stationary. Cover a journal with motivational sayings to give to a friend who loves to write.
