We have shared a bunch of videos on making and using stencils to decorate pottery on Ceramic Arts Network, but Adrienne Eliades had a stenciling tip that I hadn't heard of before. Adrienne uses a tree-free paper, which is stronger than regular copy paper due to its sugarcane waste composition. Who knew?!
Adrienne also explains how she laminates two sheets together for easy cutting of patterns on an electronic cutting machine, along with a few other great tips. Have a look! –Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
