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…

Furniture Decoupage Day - Superb! I learned a huge amount and came away with a table I'm really pleased with. Lovely learning environment. Gabriella spent time individually with everyone and was incredibly generous with her knowledge.

I had a very productive class and learnt lots tricks and techniques. Gabriela gave good instructions, advice and suggestions, particularly on how to avoid problems. I am very keen to sign up for another class or 3.

Another great workshop with Gabriela. I took a chair in and she showed me a number of techniques for decorating it. She is so creative and skilful and a great teacher. Loved my day in her bright studio!

Had the BEST DAY! I decoupaged a little chest of drawers. Gabriella was extremely attentive and I have to say I'm slightly obsessed with découpage now! Will definitely be back to learn more. 100% recommend.

This was such a great class! I worked on a little coffee table which I covered with a world map pattern and pages from old books. I only did one day and it was non-stop even with a small piece of furniture, so that is something to keep in mind when you book. There were a couple of people in the class who were on their second day of working on chairs and they also left with lovely finished pieces but it took them the whole two days to get there. I appreciated being in a small class with plenty of individual help, and found it interesting to see how different all the results were given that we were all using same materials. Wonderful studio and really helpful teacher. Plus healthy lunch and lots of snacks to keep you going during the day! Recommended.

Fantastic workshop, really lovely studio, absolutely loved it. I thoroughly enjoyed the upcycling furniture course. It was very informative and i learned so much. Gabriela Szulman is an excellent tutor and takes time to explain each stage of the course. I would love to attend a future course.

Gabriela was amazing. She was so supportive, full of ideas. The lunch and snacks were great too, way in excess of what I would have expected. It was such a treat of a day and a great opportunity to immerse oneself in a project, supported by expert advice and leave the external world behind. A very therapeutic experience for anyone regardless of experience.

It was an exceptional workshop delivered by Gabriela. She was extremely kind, welcoming and so were the other people doing activities there. I picked up new skills, especially to do with prepping and maintaining a good technic. Gabriela was so knowledgeable and her passion about decoupage was very contagious. For anyone who likes learning new DIY skills and wit special interests in upcycling, this is the perfect workshop to go. I’ll definitely go back!

Gabriela's decoupage class was brilliant - it was informative and relaxed and she was very generous with her materials. I would definitely attend another one of her classes.
