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 bind samples of your newfound pochoir techniques, creating a book complete with pockets for your stencils—a pochoir reference and keepsake.
