For those of you interesting in learning about how to stencil, New York blogger, Julie Fei-Fan Balzer is doing a demo on this website now (7pm Monday):

I did watch a bit of this yesterday, but I was more interested in how to make the stencil than how to apply it. Either I missed that part or I didn't stay tuned long enough. :-/

These lessons are on how to use existing stencils rather than make them. The correct way of applying paint, masking off areas, drawing through stencils, etc.

If anybody is interested (...?), today's edition is on at 4.30pm for those that can make that time....

I'm personally enjoying this free series (although the question session went on a bit long!) and have learned some fun techniques that I can do with the stencils I have. Last night's edition was on layering stencils and can still be found on the first post's link page.

edited to add:
*Squeal* Can you tell I'm enthusiastic? I was the one that said she would be welcome to come to the UK at the very end of the questions today

I've just had a look at when today's episode is on and its not until 3am! Pesky time differences!

Looks like I will have to watch the recorded version on Julie's blog tomorrow at balzerdesigns.typepad.com
