Stencil technique in visual art is also referred to as pochoir. With some designs, this is done by connecting stencil islands (sections of material that are inside cut-out "holes" in the stencil) to other parts of the stencil with bridges (narrow sections of material that are not cut out). To be reusable, they must remain intact after a design is produced and the stencil is removed from the work surface.
Although aerosol or painting stencils can be made for one-time use, typically they are made with the intention of being reused. The key advantage of a stencil is that it can be reused to repeatedly and rapidly produce the same letters or design. In practice, the (object) stencil is usually a thin sheet of material, such as paper, plastic, wood or metal, with letters or a design cut from it, used to produce the letters or design on an underlying surface by applying pigment through the cut-out holes in the material. The stencil is both the resulting image or pattern and the intermediate object the context in which stencil is used makes clear which meaning is intended. The holes allow the pigment to reach only some parts of the surface creating the design. Stencilling produces an image or pattern on a surface, by applying pigment to a surface through an intermediate object, with designed holes in the intermediate object.
