Your holiday cards will never be the same after this workshop.
In three glorious hours, students will design, carve, and edition their own personalized cards using hand-made stamps. Students can experiment with colors, multiple printing, and exchange/collaborate with fellow students.
Please bring 5-10 small, black-and-white photocopies approximately 4" x 5", you'd like to use as photo reference. Make sure images are simple and clear; it will make the carving process easier.
(class size: 9, hands-on, includes a lino cutter set (and your stamp) for you to keep!)
