 Textile Design Stencils

I have been a professional textile artist for many years now, and I have used numerous surface design techniques in my work. But I have always been intrigued by the simplicity and the versatility of stencils.  After perusing the commercial stencils that were available for many years and never finding anything appropriate for my work, I decided to create my own collection.  Simple Techniques Remarkable Designs Outstanding Results  The greatest benefit of these stencils is the fact that you don't need to be able to draw or even paint to easily create beautiful fiber art projects that will enrich your life. I invite you to explore the possibilities and the advantages.

I am an artist whose medium is textiles. I focus on the transformation of the textile surface by the many means available to me including painting, dyeing, printing, and stitching. I enjoy sharing these techniques with others in my workshops.

Sproule Studios is located in Humboldt County in northern California where I am surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of our rugged coastline, wild rivers, and fog- shrouded groves of towering redwood trees. The influence of this abundant natural beauty will be quite apparent as you peruse my galleries.

I am now offering some of my favorite supplies for surface design online beginning with my favorite fabric. My new Product Line is currently under development and I hope to have it ready for release this Spring. 

My ultimate goal is to inspire others to embark upon their personal creative journey while I continue to explore and expand upon my own.
