Have you ever enthusiastically loaned a favourite book to a friend, housemate, family member and it never came back? You need an ex-libris!
Ex-libris are stamps that are used to mark books from a collection, usually used by libraries. In this class, Emilie will teach you how to design and make your very own custom ex-libris stamp!
You’ll learn to design specifically for stamps with clear examples to follow. You’ll get to carve your own stamp, learn to ink it and print with it, and start marking your own book collection. Never lose a book again with your own unique personalised ex-libris stamp.
This class offers a great introduction to printmaking techniques. Stamps are also a great craft for those who are not confident about their drawing skills.
