If you're new to stamping or haven't checked out the field lately, there's a lot of great materials easily available and affordable.
Stamps and stamping techniques are perfect additions to artwork including greeting cards, visual journals, collages, Artist Trading Cards and handmade books.
Learn about using and cleaning both red rubber and clear polymer "cling" stamps, the difference between dye and pigment inks, positioning your images, the fascination of embossing, and combining stamping with other media.
We'll survey the field from purchased stamps to creating your own. (But we won't do potatoes.)
Plus you'll leave with your own booklet of samples, notes and studio tips.
REQUIRED MATERIALS: Bring at least one stamp you like -- wood-mounted red rubber or clear polymer with an accompanying acrylic block. The stamp should be able to fit in a 2" by 2" square and of low or medium detail.
For example: silhouette of a cat = low detail; cat with just eyes, nose and whiskers = medium detail; cat, mouse and fur on a checkerboard floor = high detail
OPTIONAL MATERIALS: Bring any "stampy" materials -- stamps, ink pads, embossing powder, a heat gun, etc.
Thanks.
