Gabriela Szulman Art

A glass dish can be transformed into something really special using reverse decoupage. You will learn to apply layers of paper "upside down" and build them into a one-off design: your own work of art on a plate! 

During this 3 1/2 hour workshop, you will select papers from Gabriela's extensive collection to transform a plain glass dish  (supplied) into your unique creation through decoupage. Gabriela will guide you through the design process and show you all the tricks involved in applying layers of thin paper to a glass surface. You will be able to use the glass dish for food as we apply the paper to the back and then seal it with a waterproof varnish.

Scroll down to the photo gallery to see the impressive results achieved by previous participants.

*Influenced by a tradition of cut work that includes the paper cutting of the ancient Chinese, the felt appliqués found among the Siberian peoples, and the Polish folk art of paper cutting, decoupage originated in France in the 17th century as a means of decorating bookcases, cabinets, and other pieces of furniture.*

Gabby welcomed us with a cup of tea and biscuits and taught us the art of decopage. None of us had previous experience, but Gabbys instructions were comprehensive and as a teacher she was patient and encouraged our creativity! A great Christmas present for my mum sorted!

Really enjoyed the class with Gabriela - she was lovely and a great teacher, and I found the class both fun and relaxing. Decoupage isn't overly difficult but is super effective, so we all came away with really cool plates and tea lights. It's a skill you could definitely take away and do at home.

Rachel

Great workshop. Plenty of attention from Gabriela and everything explained at the right pace. A fun afternoon and I love the plate I ended up with!

Wonderful teacher
Wonderful venue
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience and worth every penny

I was given a voucher as a present and chose this course. I was very pleased with my choice: Gabriela is a patient and inspiring teacher and I learnt a new skill and have a creation to keep. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my glass decoupage class.  The venue was a perfect setting for a fun crafting afternoon.  Gabriela paced the class perfectly, particularly as I was a beginner.  She was friendly and helpful giving us ideas and lots of materials to work with.  I wouldn't hesitate to re-book.  The whole experience inspired me to experiment at home!

Gabriela was a fantastic host and expert teacher for a friend's hen party afternoon. The studio is beautiful and we had lots of fun being creative and getting to know each other... with plates to take home as mementos of the occasion. Thank you Gabriela!

We went for an afternoon of decoupage on glass plates, for our friend's hen do. Gabriela was fantastic and very helpful. She talked us about the process, gave us step-by-step advice and guided us into making pieces we were actually very happy with, had a fantastic selection of materials and enough variety for everyone to be as creative as we could be, with an infectious enthusiasm for the craft. I was inspired and would love to go back and try another of her classes!

Gabriela's venue/studio is lovely, a nice courtyard in front with birds in the trees, spacious with kitchen facilities too for the all important tea!

The class was a group activity as part of my hen-do (we were very well behaved!), decoupage onto glass plates.  It was fun, simple enough that everyone could take part and come away with something unique and beautiful, and really creative so that we could all flex our artistic muscles.  Gabriela was great at teaching the skills needed so that we felt we could go away and make more on our own afterwards. 

Perfect activity for six, with time for drinks and chatting while we waited for things to dry.  We had a really fab afternoon and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the workshop.

I absolutely LOVED this workshop. It's very relaxing and therapeutic. Gabriela was really kind and generous with her comments and feedback and would advise you on even the smallest of details. The studio itself is very cosy and comfortable (with good music in the background) and it was perfect for a rainy London day. You get to finish the plate and take home a ready to use product. Great class!

It was a great class - I made a wonderful glass plate for my mum's Christmas present and she cried! Gabriella had lots of materials, and even printed off some text for me which was very kind.

Gabriela was a really great teacher and there was so much choice of designs to use. A great introduction to decoupage, would definitely recommend.

Really great class  I was so happy with the finished product, a really great atmosphere to work in too. I look forward to booking another decoupage class with Gabriela in the future.

This is one of my favourite classes Gabriela is a great host and teacher I have created some lovely work in her classes and recommend this class.

Caroline

This course is the most original course I’ve ever attended! I went with an old pair of shoes and left with this funky amazing and like-new pair!!! I weat them to work and I still get compliments about them. Gaby is so professional and a great teacher! Also you get to meet awesone people and its a time to unwind and recylce at the same time! Highly recommended!!

Marcela Vasquez

A friend of mine gave me a workshop with Gabriela as a birthday present and it is one of the best present I have ever received, Gabriela is passionate about sharing her knowledge and helping individuals achieve the effects that they would like too, also Gabriela's studio is lovely and cosy and it makes you feel like at home. Looking forward to enjoying more classes in the future. Thanks Gabriela.

Heather Fiona Martin

Highly recommended.  At the top of her field, I’ve admired Gabriela’s colourful, frequently whimsical exquisitely executed work for sometime.  So was thrilled when my sister bought me one of her workshops as a gift.  

The glass decoupage workshop was everything and more than I expected - Gabriela is a great hostess creating a welcoming, relaxed environment to learn and make in.  As a teacher she “got inside” my idea, patiently guiding me through the process.  Stages and techniques were  demonstrated to us as a group but there was also plenty individual attention.  

Was I delighted with what I made?  Absolutely!  Thank you Gabriela for your expertise and generosity.  I cant wait to give the dish I made back to my sister as part of her birthday.

I would definitely recommend this workshop for anyone interested in decoupage. Gabriela was a great teacher and my friend and I spent hours totally absorbed in the class. Though I was a complete novice, I came away with a piece of work I was really proud of. The workshop is held in a lovely space and it was hard not to be inspired by all the great artwork on show. Thanks Gabriela.

Jennie Harrison

We had a great time. We learnt a lot and were guided through each step of the process. It was a very enjoyable day!

Sarah Nendick

A lovely gentle class, where you didn't feel rushed or pressured in any way. Gabriela was really helpful throughout and a pleasure to learn with. We were all amazed how our plates were so different from each others, but all came out really professionally. Would highly recommend this as a lovely class for all crafting abilities.

Janice Pearce

Another wonderful workshop with Gabriela - instructive, friendly and fun. I left with knowledge of a new technique, inspiration and a plate I'm happy to display on my shelf!

CAROLINE BOURNE

The afternoon went so quickly & I came away with the most gorgeous decorated plate.  Now I want to decoupage everything! Small class, suitable for all abilities. Gabriela was an attentive teacher &  I would definitely recommend.

Make your own decorated glass dish with decoupage!

Glass Decoupage Workshop

In this  workshop, Gabriela will teach you how to upcycle 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. 

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 plus drinks and snacks are included in the cost of the workshop. Lunch is not included: 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). 
Please note that you will have to varnish your piece of furniture at home.

*The French Art Deco designer Jean-Michel Frank used decoupage on some of his earliest Parsons tables in Paris in the 1920s. Decoupage was revived in the United States in the 1960s, as a popular decoration for boxes, trays, wastebaskets, lampshades, chests, and screens.*

You need to bring your own piece of furniture, clean nad primed with a coat of white paint.

Gabriela's decoupage class was brilliant - it was informative and relaxed and she was very generous with her materials. I would definitely attend another one of her classes.

Maria

It was an exceptional workshop delivered by Gabriela. She was extremely kind, welcoming and so were the other people doing activities there. I picked up new skills, especially to do with prepping and maintaining a good technic.  
Gabriela was so knowledgeable and her passion about decoupage was very contagious.  
For anyone who likes learning new DIY skills and wit special interests in upcycling, this is the perfect workshop to go. 
I’ll definitely go back!

Erika Shapiro

Gabriela was amazing. She was so supportive, full of ideas. The lunch and snacks were great too, way in excess of what I would have expected. It was such a treat of a day and a great opportunity to immerse oneself in a project, supported by expert advice and leave the external world behind.  A very therapeutic experience for anyone regardless of experience.

Luis

Fantastic workshop, really lovely studio, absolutely loved it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the upcycling furniture course. It was very informative and i learned so much. Gabriela Szulman is an excellent tutor and takes time to explain each stage of the course.

I would love to attend a future course.

Marian

This was such a great class! I worked on a little coffee table which I covered with a world map pattern and pages from old books. I only did one day and it was non-stop even with a small piece of furniture, so that is something to keep in mind when you book. There were a couple of people in the class who were on their second day of working on chairs and they also left with lovely finished pieces but it took them the whole two days to get there. I appreciated being in a small class with plenty of individual help, and found it interesting to see how different all the results were given that we were all using same materials. Wonderful studio and really helpful teacher. Plus healthy lunch and lots of snacks to keep you going during the day! Recommended.

Upcycle Furniture with Decoupage

Deirdre O'Neill

Had the BEST DAY! I decoupaged a little chest of drawers. Gabriella was extremely attentive and I have to say I'm slightly obsessed with découpage now! Will definitely be back to learn more. 100% recommend.

rosemary braithwaite

Another great workshop with Gabriela.  I took a chair in and she showed me a number of techniques for decorating it.  She is so creative and skilful and a great teacher.  Loved my day in her bright studio!

Pauline Macmillan

I had a very productive class and learnt lots tricks and techniques. Gabriela gave good instructions, advice and suggestions, particularly on how to avoid problems. I am very keen to sign up for another class or 3.

cindy Ledgerwood

Furniture Decoupage Day - Superb! I learned a huge amount and came away with a table I'm really pleased with. Lovely learning environment. Gabriella spent time individually with everyone and was incredibly generous with her knowledge.  

Laraine Callow

What can I say? Fab biscuits / fab support (I wasn't very well) / fab company / fab decoupage instruction . I could go on x

Lovely day as always. The fact I keep returning shows how much I appreciate Gabriela, her creative skills and her energy (and wonderful studio). I'll be back!!

I really enjoyed this Decoupage workshop with Gabriele will certainly be booking other classes with her.

Jackie Harris

Brilliant day very relaxing atmosphere.Ga
Gabriella giving lots of tips and help with the creative process.So glad I attended my mind is fill with ideas of what I can do with this! Thankyou Gabriella ❤️

super amazing class full of details on how to make and epicycle your own furniture and be able to create masterpieces. excellent

In this workshop, Gabriela will teach you how to upcycle a chair or another small piece of furniture such as a side table or a simple bedside cabinet.

In this workshop you will learn how to create an original picture using a combination of painting and collage. You do not need any special skills to take part so don't worry if you can't paint or draw! Gabriela will guide you through the technical process and help you design a composition that works. By the end of the day you will leave the studio having completed a picture that you will probably want to hang on the wall when you get home.

You will use acrylics, printed papers and magazines from Gabriela's extensive collection to create your very own masterpiece on strong card stock (supplied). Alternatively, you can bring your own support (a flat surface such as a piece of wood or a stretched canvas) or purchase a 40 cm square canvas at the studio for £10. 

All materials plus snacks, tea and coffee are included in the cost of the workshop. You can either bring your own lunch or eat at one of the local cafes. 

*In 19th century England, during the Victorian era, hand colouring and intricate cutting out gave way to the more sentimental, florid collage-style of this art form. This coincided with the introduction of Valentine cards, decorative and embossed papers and braids to embellish surfaces such as screens, lamp bases, linen boxes and much more. Many a Victorian nanny taught her young charges to beautify objects by applying decorative paper pieces to them.*

Astrid

Really loved this workshop and Gabriela was an amazing host and teacher. She explained the process of making a collage thoroughly and allowed sufficient time to test different acrylics and techniques. And always willing  to offer a helping hand or word of advice.

Janice

I have attended a number of courses for various different hobbies, but the Collage and Multi Media with Gabriela is one of the best and I will be returning to do it all over again.   A lovely atmosphere and Gabriela is so helpful - I really enjoyed by day.

It was a great workshop! The first one for me.So nice to finally meet a lady who does decoupage in London! I was very pleased with the project we did.And it was a small group which I like.Full marks!😊

I never considered myself naturally creative so I was very unsure about how I would go at this workshop. Right from the start, Gabriela created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and provided really clear and helpful guidance to get me started. Gabriela provided a fabulous range of materials, and had an excellent knack of drawing out my own ideas and inspiration and then advising on how I might best give effect to them, as well as making her own creative suggestions. Gabriela was on hand through out and provided a really high level of individual attention. She stayed completely calm  - even when things didn't go quite as I planned - and was really reassuring and encouraging. I was absolutely delighted with my final piece - it far exceeded my expectations of what I might be capable of - and that is due in no small measure to Gabriela's expert input and tuition. It was one of the most absorbing, interesting and fun workshops I've done, and my piece now hangs proudly on my kitchen wall. I cannot recommend Gabriela's classes highly enough.

Gabriella’s workshop was wonderful and I look forward to returning. All the materials needed and so much more. A small group of four only meant she was able to give us all attention and answer all our questions. The delicious lunch she prepared and small touches of tea biscuits and strawberries were so thoughtful and gracious just like Gabriella

I did the full day workshop with Gabriella Szulman recently (I had earlier done the half day decoupage workshop and enjoyed it so much I came back to do the full day workshop) Gabriela creates a relaxed and safe environment to learn and experiment, all the while supported by Gabriella both from a technical point of view (materials, tools, techniques) as well as an esthetical PoV (what looks good, how to improve things) and has lots of examples and materials available to be inspired by. Many thanks Gabriela!

Gabrielle is a great tutor.  She is friendly, knows her crafts inside out, informative and very talented.  I left her course with enough knowledge to continue practicing on my own to further develop my skills but would not hesitate to attend another of her workshops.  As another plus her premises are inspiring and her cookies and lunch are delicious.  What more could you ask for?Lynda Parkinson-Garde

Collage and Mixed Media Workshop

Lourdes Muriel Rios

The whole experience was fantastic, and incredibly productive as I got a collage back home in only one day! Gabriela is so patient and helpful; she and her studio are inspirational. It was a great experience that I wOuld repeat. 

Angelica Lebre

Nursel Arslan

This was my 3rd workshop with Gabriela via Obby. I did many more decoupage classes led by her previously and the fact that I keep coming back for more really says it all! I work in advertising and all creativity happens on computer but it's not the same as creating something with your own hands. Gabriela's workshops are great fun and nourishing. She is a great teacher who takes time to help you and answer all your questions. You can follow hear lead and explore your own creative ideas. The workshops inspire me and help me to unlock my own creativity.

Carol Reid

Had a great day learning different techniques for collage. I worked at my own pace with Gabriella's excellent, expert guidance. Looking forward to joining more classes soon. Thank you Gabriela.

Thetis Pantou

I had a Collage and mixed media workshop with Gabriela on 25/04. Gabriela is a great instructor, I learned so much in just a day. I cannot recommend this course highly enough, I will definitely take another course with Gabriela in the future!

Imogen Marshall

This was a lovely way to do something creative
Gabriela has lots of experience and is a helpful teacher , you will find lots of inspiration in her studio too!
The venue is completely Covid safe, I also observed other people attending her other courses and this was inspiring too so will be booking again soon!

Padma Ghosh

Absolutely loved the class, the teacher, the space, the conversations on "how to turn to art". The full day passed in a flash and Gabriela teaches in a clear and structured manner. She helped me through the process of manifesting my idea, layer by layer on my collage. Thanks Gabriela. It was a treat to be in your studio, and to see your works of art. I will be back. Padma

Liz G

Loved my collage day with Gabriela.  Learnt some new techniques in an atmosphere of calm and sharing. Gabriela is generous and gentle and her space is a treasure trove of arty things. Inspiring!

Jenny Brandon

Fantastic whole day collage workshop. The workshop space is fabulous and bright, well stocked and Gabriela was a fantastic host and teacher. We learned many different techniques and I look forward to doing some more classes here!

Jessica Hepburn

I spent the most wonderful day at  Gabriela's studio. I haven't done any art since school and Gabriela's gentle guidance and fabulous workshop space was just what I needed to unlock my creativity and feel like an artist for a day! Highly recommended.

Mary Anne Trotman

It was a great day.  Found lots of inspiration and learnt new skills in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  Thanks Gabriela.

James K.

Very happy with this workshop.  Inspiring tuition and Gabriela has the skill of being able to read a composition very quickly, which helped when I got stuck a few times with my work.  Very comfortable environment, and was welcomed.

Produced 3 items of work in the day and have a 4th I’m currently working on now.

Previously did an art diploma many years ago and haven’t done much art for some time so this experience was very important to me, and I now feel I can work on artworks again

Loved the class and Gabrielle is always inspirational - and patient!  Would recommend highly! 

kate krader

What a great class. Gabriela is such a pro, she can make students into instant artists even in a one day class. the quality of decoupage pieces ppl walked out with was truly inspiring. Can't wait to take this class again 

Cindy Ledgerwood

Superb workshop. Gabriella is incredibly generous with her knowledge and help. We all came away with art work which we were chuffed to bits with. Brilliant day. Thank you! 

Richard  Berry

What a fantastic course on collage. Gabriela is just fantastic, so patient, encouraging and knowledgeable. Her wonderful studio is the perfect environment to boot. A wonderful day. 

debi zornes

I took Gabriella's Collage & Mixed Media workshop and cannot recommend it enough.  Gabriella is a great teacher, with plenty of patience for those like myself who have no/very little experience working with paint etc.  Very clear in instruction and on hand for help and encouragement.  I came away with the desire and confidence to experiment more with my new found skills.  

Devon Lovelace

I had such a lovely day with Gabriella and others. Her studio is wonderful and Gabriella a very professional and helpful teacher. I learnt so many new techniques and of mediums I’ve never heard of. So many useful tips too. My mo Jo has s back thanks to Gabriella

Hannah Moore

Gabriela's art and studio are totally magical, and this collage class was fab. Highly recommended. I am already booked on to another class and can't wait! Thank you!  

Fabulous day in Gabriela’s studio. She took us through different techniques building up our confidence as well as our skills. Thoroughly recommend for people of any skill level. 

In this workshop you will learn how to create an original picture using a combination of painting and collage.

A serving tray with raised borders presents a wonderful opportunity to create a few different compositions using decoupage. You will learn to apply layers of paper and build them into a pleasing composition: your own work of art to display and use at home. Once you've learned the technique, you will be able to upcycle other items - all you'll need is time, patience, and a few very affordable materials and tools.

**In this workshop**

During this half-day workshop, you will select papers from Gabriela's extensive collection to transform a plain wooden tray (supplied) into your unique creation through decoupage. She will guide you through the design process and show you all the tricks involved in applying layers of thin paper to a flat surface.

*Back in the day, wealthy classes were using master painters to paint their furniture and decorate their walls and ceilings. However, due to excessive demand and the fact that many people could not afford the works of the masters, an alternative form of decoration developed where drawings from the artists of the day were cut out, glued down and covered with lacquer to resemble original paintings. From this derivation came the alternative term "l’arte del povero" (poor man’s art).*

During this half-day workshop, you will select papers from Gabriela's extensive collection to transform a plain wooden tray (supplied) into your unique creation through decoupage. She will guide you through the design process and show you all the tricks involved in applying layers of thin paper to a flat surface.

The cost includes all materials as well as a “how-to” guide to take away. All classes are held in small groups to allow for individual tuition, and take place in Gabriela's Camberwell studio.

I did a tray decoupage workshop with a group of friends.  Gabriela is a friendly and inspiring teacher and it sparked an ongoing interest in the technique for me.  Her studio is a lovely place to work and has lots of examples of her own work too.   With lots of tea and cake along with the class, what's not to like!

I had a very enjoyable day learning the art of decoupage with Gabriela.  She is a very lovely lady & a good teacher.

Carolyn Sleightholme

The 4 hour decoupage a tray workshop was great. Gabriela is lovely and very professional. The studio is a lovely environment to work in. I did run out of time and was unable to complete my tray. I wish I had gone a little more prepared with an idea in mind. 

Carrie Gray

The workshop was everything i hoped it would be. A small group so as to have individual attention, no pressure, relaxed and all the materials needed to make a very satisfying object to take home. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.  

So great I always enjoy my classes with Gabriela..

I decoupaged a large fruit bowl I really enjoyed it and so happy with my work .working with Gabriella is always a pleasure

Awesome class highly recommended great environment and great studio to work in

Theo Wood

Very enjoyable class. Gabriela has excellent knowledge of the craft and very informative about different techniques. A pleasant studio environment too with tasty refreshments supplied throughout the course. 

Always a pleasure :-) a great workshop highly recommend 

Kelsey O'Brien

A really fun way to spend an afternoon! Having never done decoupage before, I came in with very low expectations for what I might produce, but Gabriela helped me come up with some ideas and I'm absolutely in love with the tray I created. Now hoping to do more decoupage in the future!

Very enjoyable and relaxing afternoon  spent creating a beautiful and useful tray . Gabriella is a patient and kind teacher and there was a nice atmosphere in her well appointed studio. Would love to come back for more !

Really enjoyable and fun and Gabriella is a lovely teacher - very patient and clear. 
 Would recommend highly!

Rachel Braverman

Fabulous, relaxing afternoon. I'm a complete beginner and am so proud of my tray. Looks wonderful!

Steve  Simms

An excellent introduction into the world of decoupage. Gabriela really knows her stuff and the 'taster' days are a really intuitive way into this creative world. She  (Gabriela) really is thoughtful about what you wish to achieve and for the student you are immersed into this interesting art environment. I will be returning soon . RECOMMENDED 

Rahat Aboobaker

Enjoyable Workshop. Gabriela is patient whilst she takes you through a step by step process . Lovely studio space with inspiring artworks. Looking forward to the next workshop. 

Rachael  Champion 

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

Yee-Lin Richardson

I had a really enjoyable afternoon learning to decoupage a wooden tray. It was a nice small group and a friendly, calm atmosphere. I will definitely be back for other workshops! 

Amanda Shadbolt

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. 

You will learn to apply layers of paper and build them into a pleasing composition on your tray: your own work of art to display and use at home.

Glass Decoupage Workshop: Upcycle a Plate

Age Requirement
