In this class you’ll learn how to create your own rubber stamps and make prints with them.
Stamp carving is easy to learn, and a great way to make personalized stationery, textiles, and fine art prints. We’ll provide everything you need and take you step by step through the process from start to finish. Bring your own designs, or choose from some of our favorites (or both!)
The class will cover creating and selecting designs, how to transfer them to a carving block, cutting tools and techniques, basic inking and printing skills, repeating patterns, and ideas for using your stamps.
By the end of the class, you’ll leave with six or more prints, two stamps you’ve carved yourself, and a knowledge base you can build on for future printmaking projects.
If you’d like to use your own designs, please email them to

If you’re interested in taking the class, but find ticket price to be a barrier, there are a limited number of spots available for volunteer assistants. Please contact Missa by one of the above methods for more information.
