CREATE New Jersey: Stamp Carving 101 & Lovely Lettering

I taught five classes at the CREATE Mixed Media Retreat in New Jersey.  Today I'm sharing some photos from two of those classes: Stamp Carving 101 and Lovely Lettering.

I love stamp carving.  And it's one of those things that looks difficult but is actually quite easy.  I think you'll see from the photos what spectacularly creative students I had the joy of teaching.

Do you recognize that design?  It's the Balzer Designs "Echoes" stencil as a hand carved stamp!

This was the final class I taught at CREATE and it was a wonderful way to wrap up my adventure.  If you're interested in learning more about lettering, consider my online class "Getting Started with Lettering."
