A pounce pattern is a traditional transfer method with roots in Renaissance art. Michelangelo used this technique in the Sistine Chapel; Leonardo da Vinci used pounce patterns to transfer his Mona Lisa onto the wooden panel. For centuries, it remained the standard practice across Europe for frescoes, panel paintings, textiles, and signage.

We plot your design on recycled paper—no ink, just tiny holes pricked along every line. Position the pattern, dust it with charcoal or chalk, and the pattern transfers: no grid, no distortion, no redrawing.
