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 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.

I had a really enjoyable afternoon learning to decoupage a wooden tray. It was a nice small group and a friendly, calm atmosphere. I will definitely be back for other workshops!

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

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…
