Learn a stencil technique to add atmospheric, mysterious imagery to your books and prints. Macy will introduce techniques for making beautiful images with pochoir, using hand-cut mylar stencils and a dry-brush technique. After creating a sequence of shapes and layers of colors, you'll create an accordion book of samples of your newfound pochoir techniques, complete with pockets for your stencils- a pochoir reference and keepsake in one!
