The aim of this workshop is to give participants the opportunity to get to grips with this technique and create their own work. Participants will be able to experiment with various graphic combinations on paper, using some of the stencils provided, learn how to use a spray can... And at the end they will be free to create their work of art on a T-shirt, cloth bag or other media. The aim is for participants to create their own T-shirt, which they will take away with them and which will remind them of this event.

NOTE: Each participant should bring a t-shirt, cloth bag (light-coloured) or other support on which to stencil. It is recommended to wear clothes that can get dirty and rubber gloves.
