Sponge It, Spray It! Quick, Easy Wall Stencils (Skillshare)

Why live and work with boring walls? Stencils are a quick and easy way to transform a blank wall into a work of art. In this class, I’ll show you the right way to make a wall-sized stencil that gives you stunning results. In this class, we'll get inspired by stencil-based street art and pick out a few great moves that you can use for your own projects.

You'll have all the know-how you need to create your own wall stencil for use in your home, office or neighborhood!
Transform a blank stretch of wall into something amazing! If you've taken my Fast Screen-Printing class, you've seen how quick and easy it is to cut and print with stencils. In this class, we'll use similar techniques, but now we're going to go BIG.
This class demos will show you how to make and use wall stencils while avoiding messy errors.
Create your own design, or use one I've provided. Examples are attached below along with a Supply List that includes Paint-Buying Tips.
Don’t forget to share your progress! I love to see what you guys are working on. Feel free to post any of the following:

  • Your inspiration/concept
  • Your design in progress
  • Your execution (either on a wall or as a final stencil design)
