Printing Possibilities

Experience level: All Levels

Let’s go on a stamping journey together! In this class we will be working not with fabric but PAPER and taking our stamping to a whole new level. We will explore overlaps, transparencies, multi-part stamps, and stamps that overlap themselves. There will also be carving tutorials designed just for carving perfect stamps. This will be a deep exploration of color and different kinds of geometric patterns.

Come join me for this exploration of creating overlapping patterns with simple shapes. The small scale of stamp-making allows for deep exploration of pattern and color without rolling out ink. Together we will create a simple design that will create a secondary pattern when overlapped, carve it into a soft matrix and experiment with printing it in different ways to create unique secondary patterns with our overlaps. I will provide all of my methods for creating a precise design and how to register it when printing. We will also discuss color combinations and how they affect overall designs.

The beauty of this workshop is that you have the time
and space to create your own beautiful composition.

And, what is especially powerful about this workshop is Susana’s penchant for bold, geometric, designs. Her work stands out with its original use of pattern and color.
