Biography:
The pochoir technique was used mainly in France from the 1880’s to 1930’s. Pochoir printing was used in industrial design, interiors, textile, and architecture.
Pochoir incorporates the use of numerous stencils for applying individual colours using watercolour or gouache to the one sheet. A craftsman known as a découpeur would cut stencils with a straight-edged knife. The stencils were made of aluminum, copper, or zinc and plastic in the C20th. Stencils created by the découpeur would be passed on to the colourists. The colourists applied the pigments using a variety of different brushes and methods of paint application to create the finished pochoir print.
The pochoir technique was labour intensive, expensive and slow. As a result, techniques such as lithography and serigraphy, mechanised in nature, replaced pochoir as a method colour printing.
