Free stamping/printing event from Crown Town Handmade 5/26/11

Crown Town Handmade is presenting the next its FREE crafting sessions. In this session you’ll learn to carve a stamp from a drawing or doodle and ink a post card.

Thursday, May 26th, 7:30pm at Amelie’s French Bakery, 2424 North Davidson Street.

Join Crown Town Handmade on Thursday, May 26th at 7:30 pm at Amelie’s French Bakery for our monthly Make-Out session, hosted this month by Sarah Terry of Stitch Machine. Transform one of your original drawings or doodles into a reusable printing block stamp! Once you finish carving your stamp, ink it up for a test-run and print on a postcard that you can drop in the mail. You’ll be amazed at how professional and interesting a s…imple doodle can become!

Small drawings by Sarah will be available for carving if you need some inspiration. There will be time for sketching, but any drawings or logos you bring should be 4″ x 6″ or smaller.

Supplies will be provided, including soft blocks and cutting and tools. Feel free to bring any paper materials you’d like to print with your stamp creation. If you have past printmaking or scrap booking experience, we could always use extra linoleum cutters, soft dark “B” drawing pencils, and stamp ink pads. This event is always free, and Crown Town Handmade accepts donations to help cover material costs. See you there!
