Crafty Rock the Stencil—this Saturday

Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Thu, Aug 9 at 11:56 AM

This sounds like a fun class, at collage on NE Alberta.

Rock the Stencil

Learn to transfer cool images onto fabric. No country craft stencils here! It looks like silk screening, but it’s stenciling, which non-toxic and inexpensive.

In this class students will learn to create stencils on their own t-shirt or fabric. Students are welcome to bring images to create a stencil with but it isn’t necessary, as well as Jennifer, the teacher of this class, will bring various images for student use. Jennifer will also demonstrate how to render stencils on the computer. Each student will walk away with their own customized t-shirt or piece of fabric!

Check out the example:

And stick around for the Recycled Clothing class—this skirt, pieced together from two boring old polo shirts, looks pretty cool.
