Decoupage Art Course by Doris Ho - TP20240628DAC

Decoupage comes from the French word “decouper” which means to cut out.

Modern Day decoupage technique is sticking decorative paper napkin or rice paper cut outs on project surfaces and making it look like it has been painted on. Numerous coats of varnish are then applied to achieve a smooth finish.

Using the art of decoupage, participants will work with different surfaces like wood, tin, glass, ceramic, fabric and others. Participants will also be taught on some of the surfaces how to decorate them with different paint effects. Once the surface is prepared, participants will pick their choice of decorative napkins, decoupage paper or rice paper to make it look like it is painted on the surface.

Pictures shown are examples, actual designs in this course may vary.
