Make your own piece of decoupage tray art to use and display at home in this creative craft class.
A serving tray with raised borders presents a wonderful opportunity to create different compositions using decoupage. Guided by your talented teacher, Gabriela, you'll learn to apply layers of paper onto your tray to create a beautiful piece of useable art.
During this half-day craft workshop at Gabriela's Camberwell studio, you'll select papers from an extensive collection to transform a plain wooden or plastic tray into a unique creation through decoupage.
Gabriela will guide you through the entire design process and show you all the tricks involved in applying layers of thin paper to a flat surface. Working in small groups means you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and receive individual tuition to help you build your skills and create something beautiful.
Once you've learned some essential decoupaging techniques, you'll be able to upcycle other items - all you'll need is time, patience, and a few affordable materials and tools. You'll head home with a gorgeous decoupage tray to keep as well as a raft of crafting skills ready to use for future projects.

Recent reviews of Tray Decoupaging Workshop

  • 5/5 from Moya O, attended Feb 2026: Lovely class. I really enjoyed learning to decoupage and was pleased with the result. Our techer was helpful and patient and I would recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Isabelle Plasschaert, attended Feb 2026: I recently took a decoupage class where we covered a tray using napkins and vintage paper. It was quite slow and detailed at times, but we finished our trays in the session and I’m really happy with how mine turned out. It was lovely to see how different each tray looked by the end. Gabriela was very likeable and created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. There was plenty of space and a great selection of materials to work with. It’s not something I would normally attempt on my own — it’s quite fiddly and requires patience — but that’s exactly why the class was so valuable. With guidance and encouragement, I stuck with it and now have a beautiful finished piece I can proudly show off. I’d definitely recommend it.
  • 5/5 from Serena Wong, attended May 2025: The teacher is really good at teaching the skills of decoupage. The workshop gives you ample time to finish your project. The workshop is clean and tidy. I am looking forward to joining her next class.

  • 5/5 from Elly Chatfield, attended Apr 2024: Great class. The teacher is so knowledgable and friendly so even though I’m a beginner I learned a lot. Really enjoyed having free range to pick all my patterns, colours etc Would recommend if you’re interested in trying a new craft
  • 5/5 from Amanda Shadbolt, attended Mar 2024: I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I had never attempted decoupage before but, with Gabriela's guidance, I managed to create a pretty funky tray. The tuition was relaxed but clear and Gabriela was always on hand to answer questions or offer help. It was a very relaxing and uplifting afternoon and I now feel inspired to decoupage anything in my flat that doesn't move.
  • 5/5 from Susan Mignot, attended Mar 2024: Very small class so we received plenty of tuition and help when needed. Friendly and encouraging teacher.

  • 5/5 from Rachael, attended Aug 2023: The decoupage workshop we attended was a gift for my daughter from her grandmother. This is never normally something I would think to take part in, but let me say I am now hooked! The atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly. Gabriela is kind and incredibly talented! I fell in love with all the items in her studio. I am already looking at dates for my next workshop, maybe decoupage on glass. I can't recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you Gabriela for showing me that relaxing and recharging doesn't have to mean just sitting in a chair watching TV! Excellent way to pamper your mental health too

Gabriela is an artist and maker. She creates pictures, decorative objects, greeting cards and jewellery with images inspired by memory, nostalgia and a love of everything vintage.
Her work is often humorous and whimsical – unless her romantic side takes over and then you enter into a fairy-tale territory of old-fashioned script, pages of books and music scores populated by chivalrous gentlemen, glamorous ladies, butterflies and rabbits. She blends a fusion of painting and digital media – acrylic, watercolour and ink with digital print – onto paper and canvas to create a wide range of work.
In addition to her own creative endeavours, she is passionate about inspiring other people and sharing her skills, so she devotes a good portion of her time to teaching.
