In this workshop you will design, transfer, and carve your own personal stamps to incorporate into beautiful hand-made Valentine's cards for your loved ones.

You will create an image – a heart or other design – and transfer it to rubber stamp material. Katya will demonstrate carving techniques so you can carve out the negative spaces in your transferred design. You will be introduced to papers, inks, and tools and will learn procedures for inking, registration, and printing your cards.

Katya will have a variety of tools and materials available, to ensure fun and creative exploration, and you will leave the workshop with elegant hand-printed cards and the knowledge to be able to print more cards at home.

A $15 materials fee includes all supplies, and all experience levels are welcome.
