Pochoir is a printmaking technique made popular by French fashion illustrators from the late 19th century through the 1930s. Images are composed of layers of color, each element printed using a separate, carefully cut, and reusable stencil. The resulting images are characterized by crisp edges and an immediacy of freshly applied color. Images can be simple or complex and can be easily produced in multiples.
Workshop participants will first design and cut stencils creating a personal vocabulary of forms based on a theme or concept. These forms will then be used to compose a series of folios of sequential images to be bound together in a soft wrap cover.
A list of materials and other information will be provided upon registration.
