Decoupage under glass workshop with Alex Stewart Carter
An introduction to the world of Decoupage under Glass. A technique very different from the well known Decoupage of old seen on trays and lamps and lurking in Grannies attic.
Over two days you will be introduced and guided through the basics of this fascinating craft. You will be taught how to handle, cut and glue the designs, learn about the different papers, paints, glues and varnishes needed to create two pieces to take away. All materials will be provided as well as a choice of simple but beautiful designs so the focus can be getting to grips with the method and application. There is also an element of simple gilding using metal leaf and the variety of ways this too can be used to create something wonderful!
During this workshop you will create (and take away) a stunning bowl and a small hurricane vase. The bowl design can also be double sided, something rarely done in the Decoupage world. The hurricane vase is hugely versatile can be used for candles, as a vase, or a wonderful decorative pot.
As with all our workshops, no prior experience is necessary, simply the desire to escape for a couple of days and create something beautiful.
Homemade and, where possible, locally sourced lunch and tea included. Accommodation available for those travelling from afar.
Timings: 10am - 4pm
Please note this workshop is taught for personal, not commercial, use.
