Today on the V Word, local artist/activist, Malena Magnolia is featured from her workshop: LEARN HOW TO MUD STENCIL WITH MALENA MAGNOLIA AND CREATE STENCILS COMBATTING SEXUAL AND/OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!
“What is a mud stencil, you ask? After a stencil is created, mud is applied to the stencil, usually with a sponge, instead of with spray paint. It is 100% eco-friendly, no harsh chemicals are used, and it is ephemeral when placed outside. This technique is very accessible and is fun for both artists and those who may not consider themselves artists.”
