Over the centuries the stencil has created a range of visual effects, some subtle, some dramatic, all stunning. Today, with the materials available to us, the possibilities for using stencils are endless.
In this beautifully illustrated book Lyn Le Grice, who pioneered the revival of this delightful craft, demonstrates how walls, ceilings, furniture, curtains and bedspreads can be transformed by this simple but extremely effective technique.
From the country charm of her own bedroom and bathroom to the more extravagent commissions she undertook for Crabtree & Evelyn (on a orchard theme) and Blake's Hote (exotic and oriental), the variety of style is breathtaking.
Inspired by these set pieces, you can learn how to design your own. The practicalities are fully covered, from finding sources of imagery to spraying and fixing methods.
