Come learn the fundamental techniques of carving custom stamps from rubber blocks. You’ll use your stamps to create a series of prints on a single sheet of masa paper, and then you will transform that into the pages of a book. You’ll leave with the skills to continue your stamp carving and bookmaking journey! You will also have a one of a kind book that could make a unique gift! No experience needed, and all skill levels are welcome.
