Zoom+Make: Pochoir, January 2023
January 19, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$42.00
About this Workshop:
Join us for this fun evening where you’ll learn how to both finesse the printing technique and pronounce the word, Pochoir, which is French for “stenciling” and was a popular printing method from the late 19th century through the 1930s.
Using hand-cut stencils and stippled brush and sponge application, color is applied to each layer using countless techniques, from daubing to swiping, spraying, and spattering, making a recognizably beautiful print.
Today, many street artists such as Banksy and fine artists such as Mick Manning use the technique to create their work.
Level: All levels welcome – no experience necessary
Registration extended through January 15, 2023 . With your registration confirmation you’ll receive the full materials list (with helpful links) to purchase your items, any initial handouts about the process, as well as a quick 1-page “how-to” guide to using the Zoom video app.
