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...  which you should bring to apply your stencil(s) on.

All paint and other materials will be provided for use in the class only. (including other stencil material, X-acto knife, cutting board and paints) Bring your own black and white image to use for the stencil (printedon paper), keep in mind you may be tracing the image so the simpler and cleaner the lines, the  better. No more than 5 students per class to allow for plenty of individual instruction. You will leave the class with your printed stenciling samples, instructions, the custom stencils that you designed for this class, and  the confidence to personalize your life with creative stenciling  designs!

Il Progetto “UNDERPASS_Street Gallery in Chiatona” è un evento espositivo a cielo aperto e un concorso di arte contemporanea aperto a tutti gli artisti italiani operanti nel variegato mondo della Street Art: un universo ricco e contraddittorio di forme e linguaggi dinamici espressi da media sempre diversi – murales e tags, stencil e posters, stickers e pins – ma anche dall’affascinante mondo della multimedialità, con video ed il mondo di internet.

“UNDERPASS_Street Gallery in Chiatona”, organizzato dall’associazione culturale OpificioCreativo”, in collaborazione con le associazioni culturali “Il posto delle Frangole” e “Acari”, sarà curato da Amelia Liana Lasaponara e Angelo Raffaele Villani.

Il Progetto metterà in luce uno spaccato analitico-ricognitivo sulle diversità di espressione e tecniche del fenomeno attualissimo e dilagante della Street Art.

I may only upload photos to the site about once a month, but I also spend a lot of time on the site changing photo information, moving them around, updating better photos, etc. Almost five years ago, I found some great Day of the Dead stencils on Valencia St. The skeletons had whimsy, and the flying dog made me laugh (many stencils make me laugh, which is one reason I keep searching them out). So I snapped them and one of the photos ended up in "Stencil Nation." I never knew who the artist was, and only recently did the artist find out that she was in the book. So she found me on Flickr and I have now created a new archive for Lisbeth. I hope that she has more stencils to submit. After five years, who wouldn't?!
