Workshops > Pochoir Printing

In this workshop, students will make pochoir prints, a stencil technique to make imagery and to build up layers of color. Pochoir was popular in the 1920s and 30s as a color illustration technique for books and magazines. Students will make their own stencils then apply the color with simple brushes and sponges. Pochoir can be used loose as a drawing technique or to edition complicated illustrations and imagery.
