Are you looking for fun craft workshops in London? Why not spend the day enjoying some planet-friendly DIY home decor?

With this upcycling workshop, you will learn how to re-invent a chair or another small piece of furniture such as a side table or a simple bedside cabinet using decoupage, a technique that allows you to transform a piece of furniture using just paper and glue.

This fun DIY craft is a wonderful way to spend the day unleashing your creativity and making something beautiful for your home.

At the end of this upcycling workshop, you'll be able to take home your special decoupage creation. Not only will you leave with a new and improved piece of furniture for your home, but you'll also leave with some newfound decoupage and upcycling skills for future creations!

Please note:
Please note that depending on the size and complexity of your piece of furniture you may need two full days, which have to be booked individually. You also have the option of booking just one day and finishing your project at home (all materials supplied).



Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly.
 
What you'll get
All materials plus snacks, tea and coffee are included in the cost of the workshop.
 
What to bring
You need to bring your own piece of furniture, clean and primed with a coat of white paint. If you are unsure about suitability please contact Gabriela in advance.
You can either bring your own food or eat out at one of several local cafes (nearest one is round the corner from the studio).

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.

Gabriella was very inspiring with her work which she had all around the studio. She taught the class very well with a calm and ease about her, she paid attention to the individual needs of each of us, and was encouraging but also allowed us to find our own designs based on our own likes/dislikes. She was so very friendly and it was overall an incredibly enjoyable day! Highly recommend! Great aftercare too with advice on where to pick up some good tools and equipment for decoupage! I'm now addicted!

Gabrielle is brilliant. Had one of my most enjoyable and happy days working on my decoupage project with her. Gabriella also shares all her resources very generously.

What was the teacher like?
Gabriela was lovely. Very knowledgeable, friendly and hospitable. We had a great day with her. Gabriela even allowed us to come another day as my friend had to isolate on our original date.
How was the venue?
Venue was great. Gabriela had lots of wonderful items to look at for inspiration. She also sold and displayed much of her works which are beautiful
If materials were provided, did you like them? Yes Gabriela also gave me and my friend items to take home to finish our projects
Was the class good value for money? Yes. There was only two of us. Gabriela helped us as much as we needed but allowed us to be creative.
What did you do / learn?
We both decoupaged tables. We learnt 3 different techniques a made beautiful table tops and legs.
We had a wonderful day as part of my 50rh birthday celebration. Thank you so much. I can't recommend Gabriela and her class enough.
