Decoupage is also very successfully done onto ceramics, tins (yes, your old coffee tins do have a purpose), baskets, corrugated boxes, under glass and can even be incorporated into Scrapbooking.

How do I .. Decoupage?

The item is firstly painted.  The serviette or paper is then podged onto the surface, with a few payers of podge, depending on weather a serviette or decoupage paper was used.  The product can be lightly sanded between each layer of podge.  The item can then be cracked or sealed.

A decoupage item can also be made to look old in a process called antiquing.  This is when the item is cracked with a 2-step process, and then rubbed with either gold dust or oil paint, to highlight the cracks and to create a cracked, aged effect.  

Under glass decoupage is when a serviette or design is podged onto the under side of a glass plate.  The plate can either be painted, or covered with handmade paper to finish it off.  Then it is sealed with varnish, and the end result is a plate with a beautiful design under the glass.  Of course it is more for show, but decoupage photos onto plates is extremely popular.

Our classes

Next to mosaic, this is one of our most popular classes.  We normally hold at least one class a week, and it is about 3 hours long. The class fee includes everything except the product to be decoupage – this is extra.  The class incorporates the basics of decoupage, from preparing, painting, sticking and podging the serviette, to cracking the product, and finally sealing or varnishing.
