From cave art to street art, stencils have been in use for as long as forty thousand years. Though associated more often with industrial methods than artistic ones, stencils can be used with a vast range of media, and on just about any surface.

This workshop introduces foundational techniques for designing and creating multi-color and multi-part stencils. We’ll demonstrate a number of principles and practices for translating complex color designs into cut paper stencils, including various registration methods for precise alignment and repetition; cutting duplicate and triplicate shapes; using the negative and positive parts of a cut, and more. 

This is an in-person version of the SFCB online workshop of the same name.

Materials to Bring: Materials and tools will be provided. If you have any brushes, colors, or knives you're partial to, please bring them.

About the Instructor | Tim Svenonius

Tim Svenonius is a mixed-media artist whose work explores the intersections of history, memory and myth. A voracious reader and an avid researcher, his work is shaped by deep investigations into arcane knowledge and lore. He has worked for two decades in the museum field, as a designer, writer, and producer of digital media. In 2015 he self-published a monograph, A Book of Lost Latitudes, which explores the role of the whale in mythology and literature, through evocative drawings and found texts.

Past Student Reviews:

“Tim was very friendly and accessible, open to questions, encouraging, and a focused teacher.”

“He addressed many of my questions before I even asked them, so it seems he's given a lot of thought to student perspectives. His techniques of creating stencils are very unique, and his layering and registration refreshers were helpful for my own printmaking work. I was surprised at how much I learned at the end of the class, and he also discussed how to apply what we learned to other subjects. All in all, a great workshop.”
