You've asked and now I'm going to give it to you!
There are lots of ways to make your own stamps, but this class is solely about mastering carving rubber stamps with a linoleum cutter.
It may look intimidating, but it’s super easy to do! I will show you both the basics and nuances of stamp carving.
Over the course of the class you will carve basic stamps, decorative stamps, cursive words, small repeating designs, frames, an entire alphabet, and even a stamp based on a photograph!
The class is hosted on a private password protected blog with a gallery and private message board on flickr. You will have access to the class forever.
This class is intended for those with little to no stamp carving experience. If you have carved stamps before, some of the content may be repetitive.
These are the supplies I'll be using in class:
Lessons will be released on Mondays and Thursdays for five weeks: January 16 – February 19
The cost is just $30.
Within 24 hours of your purchase you will receive an e-mail from me with a password and username.
Hope to see you in the classroom!

Girl! You made my dreams come true. I bought the carving kit at the hobby store after seeing your “jury duty” work but haven’t been daring enough to try yet. I can’t wait for January! Whoo hoo!

Hi Julie, I was just wondering, if we can’t get the Speedball speedy carve blocks, is there any other brand you can recommend? Marisa

I used to use Speedball Speedy Cut exclusively. Ive also used Staedtler blocks. I hear Moo is very smooth. Erasers from the office supply store actually are great little things to carve into. Ive heard Dollar Store erasers (which come in fun shapes) can be good for carving. Hope that helps!

During the winter break I’m going to begin my alphabet – and maybe squeeze in a few
numbers too! Thinking of carving a panel with different sized letters and numerals together…will definitely tune in to this course!

Hi Julie, I’d ordered some block from dick block but it’s grey. Is that ok to use? If we need speedy carve how large of a sheet do we need and how many perms markers? The entire set of I’d fervent colors shown? Thanks.

Sandy: All carving blocks have their own negatives and positives. What is the name of the stuff that bought? You need one black permanent marker. And if you buy Speedy Carve buy one large sheet and see if you like the carving. Then you can invest in more.

It will probably be fine. If you order a sheet of the Speedy Carve you can compare and see which you prefer.
