- You will learn a few skills that you can put together in a unique way every time..
- Main focus: .
- A handmade stamp you can use to make other projects. As soon as you make one, you’ll want to try another, and they’re small so make a bunch! Be inspired by your own interests, or try one of my ideas..
- We’ll simplify a design, (remembering that everything prints from the stamp in reverse) how to transfer onto eraser, and simple carving techniques and a few tips along the way..
- Enhanced project:.
- I’ll demo a little watercolor for an easy background to enjoy the color without the worry of technique. I’ll show you what materials I like to use but encourage you to experiment with others..
