STENCILS
Join me for Stencils - an online, recorded workshop housed on YouTube and 1 of the 12 classes taking place as part of Mixed Media Mechanics - a once-monthly, year-long, online workshop series.
The Lowdown
Mixed Media Mechanics is a series of 12 workshops that focus on many of the techniques that are the basis for mixed media art. Think of these classes as back to basics - although they are geared equally toward beginners and seasoned pros.
The Stenciling class was held Live on Tuesday June 6, 2023. This is an edited and recorded version. Stencils are such a magical addition to the mixed media toolbox and can be used in so many ways. In this workshop, we review the basics, talk about less-traditional ways to stencil, and discuss and work with a variety of mediums/supplies that will enable you to think outside the lines. In the initial part of the class, you work alongside me as I share a series of individual demos. We will then utilize the materials and techniques covered to create collage material and finished art.
