Spray Curious: Introduction to the Magic of Stencils
Once you have a stencil, it is a quick and easy way to reproduce an image or a sign anywhere you can imagine.
They can be humorous, political, beautiful or all of the above.
In this session you will be introduced to the process of stencil making and how it has become an exciting medium for street artists. We will take a little journey through some recent examples and then you will have the opportunity to design your own. Once you have created your stencil, you will have the opportunity to use spray paint to try it out.
Taking inspiration from our local environment, we'd ask if you could bring along an image that you'd like to transform into a stencil. Try not to bring in anything too complicated, but maybe the image of a flower you've seen growing or a funny object in a charity shop. If you can print this out that would be great, but if not, we will have plenty!
Your artist for this session will be Coz aka Eyesorecozza who has been bothering walls with paint at any opportunity for the best part of her life.
This session is recommneded for over 16s
