Join local artist Kim Brown for a two-hour workshop where you will learn how to decoupage oyster shells using your choice of design from a paper napkin*. Decoupage is the art of gluing a paper design to a surface to create the impression of something that was painted on. $40.00 pp
In this workshop, you will decoupage two oyster shells, edge them with gold leaf paint, and add a loop of wooden beads to each one. The finished products can be used as ornaments, wine bottle charms, napkin rings, tabletop decorations, or any other way your inspiration suggests! Keep one and gift one (they make great hostess gifts) if you wish!
All supplies and materials will be provided. All you need to bring is your interest and a relatively steady hand…no artistic talent is required.
Kim Brown is a Lewes-based artist who is best known for her work creating Sailor’s Valentines, which are intricate mosaics made from tiny seashells. She also engages in other forms of shell and sea glass art and loves to paint, as well.
*Please note that you will not necessarily be making the design shown here on the sample shells. A variety of paper napkins will be available for you to choose from (or you are welcome to bring your own if there is a design you really like).
