Coast to the Cascades

Decorative Painting

Decorative painting is a diverse art form utilizing a variety of techniques and media to decorate functional and non-functional surfaces. Tole painting is the general term historically used to describe decorative painting on tin surfaces, but today we paint on any surface including wood, glass, fabric and tin.

On June 18, 2001, eight members of the Society of Decorative Painters met in Springfield, Oregon, to form the Coast to the Cascades Chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters. Any member who joined during the first year is considered a "Charter" member. The Chapter meets on the Second Saturday of each month. Click on the month in the contents bar for details of each meeting.

Our membership covers a large area between the Oregon Coast and the Cascade Mountain Range. Because of this large area, we have chosen to rotate our place of meetings each month between the Coast and the I-5 Corridor.
