Stencilling: Techniques for Interiors, Furniture & Objects
Stenciling is a comprehensive guide to one of the most popular and versatile of paint techniques. Today, stencils are the first choice for anyone looking for a simple and effective way to create a coordinated decorator look in their home. From front door to back garden, with a tour of every room in between, Jill Visser and Michael Flinn provide hundreds of inspirational ideas for using stencils, backed up by much-needed practical advice on application methods.
The clear, straightforward instructions enable the reader to tackle every surface with confidence. Floors, walls, ceilings, doors, windows and fabrics are covered, as well as furniture and small objects such as china, writing paper and clocks. Directions for drawing and cutting original designs are given, and tips for making the best use of commercial stencils are included.
The introduction features a brief history of stenciling, revealing the long and exciting tradition of a craft that has been sorely neglected for much of this century. Once more, stenciling is in the limelight, and this book should ensure that it will stay there.
