Decoupage Art Course by Angie Ong - SMII20240918DAC

To allow seniors whom normally would not have an opportunity to attend this popular course, learning places have been set aside as follows:

• 5 places for first timers attending a decoupage course. These places are taken up.
• 10 places for seniors with prior decoupage experience but did not get to attend Angie's courses in 2024. Pls join waitlist. You shall get an email invite when a place is available.

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.

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.

Projects:

Trainer may offer different designs of materials to add variety. Design selection may be decided by drawing lots.
