Each week’s class will begin with a group discussion supported by works on display and/or reference images and conclude with a round table discussion and sharing of work. All materials will be supplied. Class numbers will be capped at 15 to provide the most appropriate environment for creative learning.
TERM OVERVIEW

Weeks 3 & 4 | Stencilling
