Discover Decoupage
Time: 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Location: Crown Hill United Methodist Church
Always wanted to be an artist but thought you did not have the talent? Well, you do! Decoupage is one of the most forgiving of the arts. In fact, you have probably been doing it since kindergarten or before. After all, the basic materials are just paper, scissors, and glue. The instructor will go over color, texture, pattern, design—next you will pick a theme, colors, backgrounds, and pictures—then you will put it all together. The instructor will bring everything you need: recycled magazine holders to decoupage onto, thousands of pictures, wallpaper samples, patterned papers, glue, and scissors.
You will need to wear clothes that can get messy, and do plan to help clean up. The session will start at 1:00 p.m. and you can stay until you are done (up to 4 hours). All ages are welcome—entire families are encouraged.
Instructor:
Dorothy Skans is a Seattle native and a life-long crafter. She recently joined Seattle Free School in order to pass along her love of paper art as well as to pass along her over abundance of paper.
