Stencil Art Class with Jeremy Novy

Stencil Class is Back at 1AM!!

Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to be a stencil artist? Do you like sharp things and spray paint? Feel the need to reject society’s conventions and make art that everyone can appreciate? Stenciling is used by several activist groups and governments; it’s an inexpensive tool that can have a huge visual impact on the community. Take a class in stencil making with a brief yet insightful history of stenciling with local stencil artist Jeremy Novy. Jeremy is known for his koi fish stencils found swimming throughout the city of San Francisco.  Learn the meaning behind the Koi Fish stencil and how to design, cut and spray your own stencil. The class includes all supplies needed and a package of stencil making material.

Xacto blades, markers, glue, and spray paint provided during the class only.

-occurs every month
-each class consists of one session
-the class is $55/person
Ages 14+ welcome

Stencil Archive 2011 - back online

Dearest fans, artists, and accidental tourists;

After about a solid month of hard work, testing, and tinkering under the hood, www.stencilarchive.org is back online in about 100% in form and content. Now that the site has crossed over into the modern 2011 times, things should be working smoothly for all who wander over to get in on the fun.

Though Stencil Archive will continue to give you all your favorite coverage for all things stencil, just like always, some things have changed.
