Stenciling Your Bungalow: The Essentials of a Vintage Art


Amy Miller, Trimbelle River Studio & Design
At the turn of the century, magazines such as The Craftsman encouraged
homeowners to partake in the decorative arts of their bungalows. A simple
stencil, running as a border along a wall or adorning curtains or pillows,
was a simple way to personalize a home and anyone could do it. With plenty
of hands-on experience and helpful advice, this 2 l/2 hour workshop will
guide you through some of the techniques that are offered in Amy's book,
"Stenciling the Arts & Crafts Home". All materials to work with are
provided, so come enjoy this fun class and be amazed at what you are capable
of!
