Decoupage comes from the French word "decouper" meaning to cut out and refers to the decoration of an object (i.e. a piece of furniture, wooden trunk or box, tray, etc.) by collaging onto the object's surface. We will look at examples of traditional decoupage from as far back as the 12th century, then will follow its evolutions into the modern artworld.
