Stencil Workshop (Seattle, WA)
!!!DEADLINE TO REGISTER AND RECEIVE PAYMENT EXTENDED UNTIL MAY 31ST!!!!!
(IF YOU NEED A LITTLE LONGER I CAN WORK WITH YOU)
No country craft stencils here! It looks like silk ...screening, but it's stenciling! The Stencil Workshop will be taught by Kim McCarthy aka SOULE of Urban Soule Design.
This workshop jumps into action with Kim guiding you through the entire process from the creation of the stencil, to applying the stencil image on multiple surfaces,using a variety of mediums. Learn to transfer your images onto fabric, paper, wood and many other surfaces. This is a very fun, hands-on class so you should wear "painting clothes". Students are encouraged to give renewed life to their vintage clothes, bags, 100% cotton shirt or fabric. (100% cotton works best but a cotton/poly blend will do, shirts with ribbing (raised vertical lines) do NOT stencil well) also recommend: pillow cases, tote bags, sketchbooks, canvas, etc…

Get Some Friends and Stencil Some Drains
Long-time Stencil Archive contributor Bryn threw a link my way from a Sacramento, CA government website, asking citizens to "Help educate your neighbors, Get a group together to stencil drainage inlets in your neighborhood with the 'don't dump here flows to creek' message." The PDF packet is about as legal as you can get for this stencil.
Here in San Francisco, the National Surfrider Foundation has begun to stencil drains around the City. Their site is looking for volunteers that will be "working with the local city governments on developing this program, designing stencils/plaques to be placed at storm drains, recruiting and coordinating volunteers to attach stencils/plaques to storm drains and map locations of storm drains/plaques.
