Description: Pochoir, or stencil, is a highly refined technique of making fine limited editions of stencil prints. The intrinsic value of pochoir is its simplicity and immediacy. Join Teaching Artist Dorothy Remington for this one-of-a-kind printmaking workshop!

In this immersive 2-day workshop, engaging demonstrations and discussion of tools and materials will begin our time together. The hands-on portion will include experimentation with texture and form, all serving as a valuable record of your introduction to the pochoir process.
