Stencil Workshop

Seattle stencil artist Soule put in her time painting pretty pictures in the street and unlike most graffiti artists managed to turn her moxie and her talent into a legitimate living.

Soule, known to friends and family as Kim McCarthy, sells her paintings and pottery online and at boutiques across the country.

Starting in June, Soule is offering workshops in the art of stenciling. The workshops take you through the whole stencil process from design to application, using a variety of mediums. All skill levels are welcome, and the plan is to teach classes that range from basic skills to creating layered multi-color images. All paint and materials are included, but you've got to bring your own images to make it work. All classes take place the month of June 2010, and times will vary depending on participants' needs. It's a rare opportunity to learn this useful technique from a master, and you've only got until May 31st to register. Visit Soule's website for more details and registration. Word.
