Stencil Portraits / Women in Science 
This week we will be creating Stencil Portraits of Women in Science.

This workshop is based on Jann Haworth and Liberty Blake’s Work in Progress Mural, on view at Granary Arts through September 17, 2021. The project was started by Jann Haworth after she realized she didn’t know of many female scientists, she worked to solve this by recruiting community members to make stencil portraits of women who have contributed something noteworthy to society. Join us in honoring these women by creating a portrait, and learn about the women scientists featured on the mural! 

This project is part of a special Ephraim City Kids Exhibition, that will be on view at Ephraim City hall later this year. To participate, pick up a kit at Granary Arts, and complete the project by Wednesday, May 19, 2021. 

You will need: 
A high contrast printed portrait of a woman of your choice.
Cardstock paper in various colors/designs 
Marker in color of your choice  
Graphite pencil  
Masking tape 
Instructions: 
Begin with a printed portrait of a female scientist of your choice. Find an image here, or use one of your own.  

Scribble with a pencil on the back of the printed portrait, fill the area the printed lines and shapes are located. Tip: Use the side of your pencil lead to create broad lines.  

After the back of the printed portrait is filled with graphite pencil, lightly tape the image to your cardstock with the front/printed side up.  

Using a pencil or pen, trace over the lines and shapes of the printed image. Tip: Use pressure to ensure the graphite on the back transfers to the cardstock.  

With one side still taped down, lift up the image to check that you have drawn all lines and shapes onto the cardstock.  

Using the printed image as a reference, begin to fill in the shapes and lines on the cardstock, using a marker. Be sure to copy the printed image, filling all of the dark areas, and leaving the white areas blank. Gray areas can be imitated by drawing dots with the technique of stippling.  

If you would like to contribute to the Ephraim City Kids Exhibition, bring your finished portraits to Granary Arts, (86 N Main St in Ephraim) no later than Wednesday May 19, 2021.
