What happens in this class?

A serving tray with raised borders presents a wonderful opportunity to create a few different compositions using decoupage. You will learn to apply layers of paper and build them into a pleasing composition: your own work of art to display and use at home. Once you've learned the technique, you will be able to upcycle other items - all you'll need is time, patience, and a few very affordable materials and tools.

I had a very enjoyable afternoon making my tray decoupage and came away with a lovely tray and some great ideas.
Amanda - 25 March 2024
I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I had never attempted decoupage before but, with Gabriela's guidance, I managed to create a pretty funky tray. The tuition was relaxed but clear and Gabriela was always on hand to answer questions or offer help. It was a very relaxing and uplifting afternoon and I now feel inspired to decoupage anything in my flat that doesn't move.

Your Teacher

Gabriela is an artist and maker. She creates prints and collages, greeting cards, jewellery and scarves with images inspired by memory, nostalgia and a love of everything vintage.

Her work is often humorous and whimsical – unless her romantic side takes over and then you enter into a fairy-tale territory of old-fashioned script, pages of books and music scores populated by chivalrous gentlemen, glamorous ladies, butterflies and rabbits. She blends a fusion of painting and digital media – acrylic, watercolour and ink with digital print – onto paper and canvas to create pictures, quirky greetings cards and a range of “art…

The decoupage workshop we attended was a gift for my daughter from her grandmother. This is never normally something I would think to take part in, but let me say I am now hooked! The atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly. Gabriela is kind and incredibly talented! I fell in love with all the items in her studio. I am already looking at dates for my next workshop, maybe decoupage on glass. I can't recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you Gabriela for showing me that relaxing and recharging doesn't have to mean just sitting in a chair watching TV! Excellent way to pamper your mental health too

Enjoyable Workshop. Gabriela is patient whilst she takes you through a step by step process . Lovely studio space with inspiring artworks. Looking forward to the next workshop.
Steve Simms - 26 March 2023
An excellent introduction into the world of decoupage. Gabriela really knows her stuff and the 'taster' days are a really intuitive way into this creative world. She (Gabriela) really is thoughtful about what you wish to achieve and for the student you are immersed into this interesting art environment. I will be returning soon . RECOMMENDED

A really fun way to spend an afternoon! Having never done decoupage before, I came in with very low expectations for what I might produce, but Gabriela helped me come up with some ideas and I'm absolutely in love with the tray I created. Now hoping to do more decoupage in the future!

Carrie - 2 August 2019
The workshop was everything i hoped it would be. A small group so as to have individual attention, no pressure, relaxed and all the materials needed to make a very satisfying object to take home. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Carolyn - 31 July 2019
The 4 hour decoupage a tray workshop was great. Gabriela is lovely and very professional. The studio is a lovely environment to work in. I did run out of time and was unable to complete my tray. I wish I had gone a little more prepared with an idea in mind.
