Stamp Carving Workshop

​Join me for a stamp carving adventure where we'll learn the ins and outs of carving your own rubber stamps. Perfect for scrapbooks, cards, art journaling, and mixed media, hand-carved rubber stamps help you add your own unique mark to your work.

We’ll go over the basics, including tools, cutting techniques, and creating your stamp designs and getting them onto your rubber. We’ll make several stamps in class, focusing on basic designs, repeating patterns, and word stamps. There will be sample designs from my own stamps available for you to use, or you can design your own!

Students should bring:

• Stamp carving tools with a #1 or detail blade
• A 4"x6" sheet or rubber (see my notes on carving supplies below)
• A cutting mat (glass is best if you have it)
• An ex-acto knife
• Pencil and ball point pen
• A ruler (a centering ruler is helpful if you have one.)
