Stamp Carving

May 4: I’m Teaching at The Ink Pad!

I'm teaching at The Ink Pad, here in New York City, on Saturday, May 4, 2013.  It's an all-day class from 10:30am to 5:30pm with a one-hour break for lunch.  

Here's a bit more about the class:

CARVING STAMPS FOR PATTERNING

Date: May 4, 2013
Time: 10:30am – 5:30pm
Price: $119
Info or to sign-up: 212·463·9876
Please note that this class is NOT held at The Ink Pad, but at the Westbeth Center:
55 Bethune Street (Between Washington & West).

This class is all about carving patterning stamps – ones that can be used over and over to create beautiful repeating patterns! Along with the basics of transferring images, carving stamps, and printing, you will learn tips and tricks for carving stamps that create complex seamlessly repeating patterns depending on how you print them. Gain loads of fresh new ideas for methods of printing repeating pattern stamps. I’ll even show you how to make your very own custom colored ink pad!

Here are a few samples:

I taught this class at CREATE in New Jersey last year.  And the students (some of whom had never carved stamps before) carved some extraordinary stamps.  Here's a peek:

I hope that you'll join me for all the fun.  I have a real passion for stamp carving and pattern making and I'd love to share it with you!

Thanks for stopping by!
