2 DAY BEGINNER DECOUPAGE COURSE with Alexandra Stewart Carter
An introduction to the world of Decoupage under Glass. A technique very different from the well known Decoupage of old seen on trays and lamps and lurking in Grannies attic. No experience needed just an enthusiasm for creativity.
Over two days you will be introduced and guided through the basics of this fascinating and to be honest addictive craft. You will be taught how to handle, cut and glue the designs, learn about the different papers, paints, glues and varnishes needed to create two pieces to take away. For this I will provide the materials and also a choice of designs so the focus can be getting to grips with the method and application. There is also an element of simple gilding using metal leaf and the variety of ways this too can be used to create something wonderful!
The two pieces you will create are a small bowl and a small hurricane vase. The bowl design is double sided, something not often done in the Decoupage world. The hurricane is the base for what I use for candles but makes a wonderful decorative pot! It really is a lot of fun!
The workshop days run from 10-4.30pm Delicious locally sourced lunches and refreshments are included. For any queries please contact sarah@thelimes.online
