Homemade Stamps
Use recycled materials and found objects to make stamps!
Come for one or more sessions. Scavenge your home for recycled materials and turn them into stamps! Experiment with shape, colour, pattern and repetition and combine stamps with other media. Learn about reductive and additive methods of stamp creation, grounded in the history of printmaking and art history. Create an inventory of possible stamp marks. Create gift paper, stationary or decorate everyday items with your stamps. Make gifts for the holiday season.
