ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Stencil your own unique Valentine designs!
Stencil printmaking is a simple technique that offers a rewarding process for transferring ideas from a non-porous surface such as paper or cardboard, onto paper, furniture, fabric, t-shirts, greeting cards and more! Come learn new stencil techniques and create some fun custom pieces of art under the theme of Valentine’s Day!
