Join guest tutor and printmaker Stephen Fowler for a fun-filled two-day workshop exploring the creative possibilities of rubber stamping and artist books! 

This workshop is perfect for printmakers, book artists, illustrators, and anyone eager to explore rubber stamping as a playful and expressive medium. 

Nearly everyone has the means of rubber stamp production in their pencil case: an eraser, scalpel, pencil, and maybe even a stamp pad— all that’s needed is something to print on. When choosing an eraser, the common misconception is ‘the bigger, the better,’ but this is an error. Unlike linocut and other forms of relief printing, rubber stamping is not purely about reproducing motifs or designs. Instead, it invites spontaneity, play, and invention. 

Working with small to medium-sized erasers encourages creative thinking. A single brick stamp can print a wall, a house, a street, a town—even an entire city. Stamping isn’t confined to the print studio. It’s a portable, flexible medium that can be taken anywhere and printed onto almost any surface—not just paper, but walls, textiles, food, and even human bodies! 

During this two-day workshop, you will learn how to carve and print rubber stamps while exploring sequence and narrative through a selection of book structures. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy access to and work with Stephen’s collection of vintage rubber stamps from around the world, adding a playful and unexpected element to your work. 

Experience level
This course is ideally suited to artists, educators, printmakers and illustrators who have some or no experience in printmaking.
