Découpage is a timeless art that uses paper cut-outs to creatively decorate objects with hard surfaces such as wood, bisque, glass, eggs etc. These paper images are cut to create a design which is glued onto a complementary painted background. Varnish and sanding techniques are applied to achieve a finished artefact which when completed can rival the finest piece of inlaid wooden art or the most delicate piece of porcelain.
