Class Description:
Participants will learn to carve and print their own stamps on both paper and cloth. Demonstrations will include transferring both abstract and representational designs onto the carving material, carving the stamps, printing with both stamps pads and acrylic paint, creating repeating patterns, and making book cloth from prints on fabric. The carving material that will be used for making the stamps is soft and easy to carve while still retaining crisp details. Participants will complete the workshop with a few stamps that can be used over and again, as well as some unique prints to incorporate into future creations! This workshop is suitable for all levels, and beginners are welcome and encouraged to attend!
