ILRCSF and the Museum of Craft and Design present:
Collecting and Creating: A Decoupage Workshop | Part 2
Decoupage in French means “to cut something out.”
In this workshop, we will learn how to decorate a simple wood tray and transform it into a beautiful, personal piece of art.
Start collecting now! Bring magazines, old books, greeting cards, patterned papers, wrapping paper, and colored papers with you.
Think of a theme like flowers, birds, fish, famous people, furniture, houses, clothes, certain colors or shapes -the list is endless.
Whatever your theme, you will transform a plain, everyday object into a work of art.
Limited Spots Available: Spaces are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Reserve your spot now!
To RSVP, please contact Brianna Sendziak at Brianna@ilrcsf.org, or (415) 543-6222, ext. 1103. Include:
