Have you ever wanted to make your own stencil print, but didn't know where to start? Join Teesside artist, Jessica, for the perfect taster workshop to introduce you to a world of hand-made stencil printing (also known as pochoir).
In this session you will create your own hand-cut stencil and learn to build up colour layer on layer until a pattern grows.
Cut a shape from paper. Push colour through it. Move it, turn it and do it again. This is a very unusual printing technique used to colour art books a hundred years ago, and it still looks beautiful today.
You will go home with your set of prints, stencils and a way of doing art that needs just a sheet of paper, a craft knife and some colour.
If you have any questions regarding access requirements for this session please contact us via info@rockpools.org or call 01429 858351
