The Beautiful Art of Stenciling on Fabric
Co-presented by Leslie Bird and Terri Bowen
Discover the beautiful art technique of stenciling from Leslie and Terri. Leslie has presented her workshops all over North America including exciting places like Las Vegas and is the published author of the book “Projection Stenciling”. Leslie and her husband David own “Buckingham Stencils” Company in Nanoose Bay, a company which is featured on numerous platforms such as Etsy and Amazon. Leslie will bring numerous samples of her work to get you motivated! Plus you will receive two books on stenciling from their company!
To begin the workshop, Terri will give you some background on how, over the ages, an amazing amount of media have been applied to a plethora of surfaces. Then you will practice the fine art of using a stencil brush properly on two small fabric surfaces. Afterwards, you will choose from a myriad of stencils for use on a sturdy canvas bag or you might finish it in your own way. As plastic bags are no longer in use, you will be pleased to show off and use your completed bag.
When: March 16 from 12 to 4 pm
Where: Lighthouse Community Center in the Nordin room on the righthand side of the center (Qualicum Bay)
What: You will first practice on two fabric surfaces. Then you will launch into a background and then a foreground on a neutral canvas bag.
$60 payable by cash or e-transfer to Terri. If you would like to purchase two stencil brushes from Leslie, add an extra $5; otherwise, please bring your own stencil brushes and others.
