20 Jan.: Stencil Making Workshop (East Bay, Cal.)

Do you love stencil art? Ever been curious about how they are made? Perhaps you have thought up an idea that you think would make a fun stencil. Maybe you have an art/crafts project going and think a stencil may help with the final item.

No matter what your skill level is, if you want to make a stencil while getting hands-on instruction, advice, and help…. then the Stencil Making Workshop at the Orange Room may be a great place to start!

Join Stencil Archive's very own Russell Howze for an afternoon of all-things stencils. Show up with an idea if you can and be prepared to immerse yourself in the world of negative space! Some equipment will be provided, but if you have your own paper/plastic/board (to cut out a stencil with), x-acto knife, cutting board (and even spray paint), please bring it. All skill levels welcome.

You don’t need to be an artist to learn and create. No idea is a bad one and no question will be denied.

R.I.P. Robi the Dog

TXMX in Hamburg just informed the Stencil Archive of the death of Robi the Dog (his Stencil Archive). Swiss artist Robi the Dog pasted up intriguing, surreal, and humorous stencils throughout Hamburg, Berlin and other parts of Europe. He died late August of 2016 at the age 37/38. In an interview with streetartbln.com, Robi the Dog stated that he got into street art in 2006, and was interested in giving as much art to the people by "exercising his right to change the environment that he lived in". Stencil Archive extends its sympathies to the friends and family of Robi the Dog, as well as to all of those whole admired his art work.
