The French word “decoupage” originates from the verb “decouper” meaning “to cut,” and describes the craft of using paper cut-outs to decorate anything from a tiny box to a large piece of furniture.
In its most basic form, decoupage involves cutting out a chosen image, sticking it on to an object and then varnishing it with as many coats as possible to give depth and to create the illusion that the design has been painted on. The beauty of decoupage is that anyone can try it and, even using the simplest of designs, can create something to be treasured. No special skills are required except an eye for colour, balance and design. You will enjoy the final result that comes with the process of creating: from choosing the object and the prints, to painting, cutting, composing and gluing to the final sanding, varnishing, and polishing when magically it all comes together – your own work of art!
You will learn how to prepare the surface: choose from a wide variety of unadorned surfaces, old or new wood, metal, glass, plastic; almost any rigid surface will do. You will be taught how to clean, sand and seal the surface before applying the surface colour with various techniques; how to cut out the patterns, how to compose and glue and lastly, how to finish and polish your work.

Historically, the phrase “tole painting” was used to describe the art of decorative painting on tin, which began in New England in the latter half of the 18 th Century. At the time, those who could not afford fine china learnt to decorate their tin-ware with colourful paint.
Over the years, the phrase “tole painting” has been gradually included under “decorative painting” and its meaning expanded to include painting on a wide variety of surfaces (wood, glass, porcelain, fabric, ceramic and pottery, as well as tin) and incorporating a wide variety of today's mediums and techniques. Many styles of folk art, stenciling, gold leafing, bronzing, country painting, trompe l'oeil, faux finishing, teddy bear painting, theorem, graining and the beautiful Norwegian Rosemaling and Russion Zhostovo are all examples of decorative painting.
Contemporary decorative painting is a teachable art form because of the systematic method employed. By using existing designs, or creating one's own designs, great results can be achieved without academic training or inherent drawing ability. Approached with creativity, discipline and craftsmanship, contemporary decorative painting offers numerous opportunities for artistic self-expression and creative satisfaction. The scope of contemporary decorative painting is boundless, incorporating styles and techniques of the past and adapting them to the fashion and materials of today. Anyone can learn decorative painting. All you need is your imagination and time to practice.
