Workshop - Decoupage

Join us at Restyled Furniture Studio at the foot of the Dandenongs and Yarra Valley Melbourne Australia region to learn decoupage skills with different mediums.  Click here to register your details and let us know your availability in the comments section. 

Decoupage involves "cutting" out pictures or shapes from paper, "gluing" them to an object and then coating the pictures and the object with layers of "varnish".   Sounds simple enough, but there are many options to your creative decoupage pursuits.

We will explore the different decoupage mediums and their applications.  (Decoupage does not only involve glue and paper.  In fact, sometimes traditional glue is not used at all)   We may use serviettes, wallpaper, tissue paper, decor weaves, fabric and more.   

Decoupage techniques can be applied to multiple surface types including, furniture, wood, ceramics, glass and more.  It’s a wonderful way to express your creativity and in time, create beautiful pieces of art.

We can pair you with like minded people or bring a couple of friends.  Maximum class number is 3 to ensure you have all the time you need to ask questions along the learning process.

At the end of this workshop, you will have learned the following techniques which all transfer to preparing and painting furniture and decor:

• Cutting
• Design/Placement
• Application
• Distressing/Antiquing
• Blending joins
• Sealing
• Finishing

If you’re a creative spirit, or would like to try something new, then this class is designed for you!

Workshop runs for 2 hours.  At the end of your visit you will take away from this workshop a new set of skills as well as a completed decoupaged project - designed and made by you.

Aprons will be provided for the workshop but make sure you wear your most comfortable painting clothes; come along ready to have fun.

No need to bring anything, we'll have everything you need.

Optional extras: Decor Weave $
