Decoupage Workshop

Decoupage Workshop - Summary

Decoupage is the art of decorating various objects with colourful recycled paper. It is one of the most creative and fun courses offered at SOLAS Education as it allows students to create unique art pieces as well as re-inventing and bringing new life to old items 

Decoupage Training Workshop Format

Students are encouraged to bring their own items from home e.g. old lamp shade, glass jars, bags, vases, shoes etc which will form the base to Decoupage. Students then create their own patterns and colours with recycled paper and will leave with their very own unique art piece! All materials are provided. This workshop is very hands on, creative and fun. The course is held in the SOLAS 'Vintage Lounge' which itself is furnished in a bohemian chic style - mirroring a similiar sustainable ethos of fun, creativity, upcycling and re-use!
