Stamp Carving with Mona Wu

A rare chance to learn stamp carving with an expert at a reduced cost to you! 

In this workshop, we will use Speedball's Speedy Carve 4"x6" pink rubber plates and linocut tools to carve your own design. We will then roll ink onto your carved design and print by hand on paper. You can also cut the plate into smaller sizes and print with a large inkpad, as stamps. 

Please indicate on the registration form whether you would like to purchase 1 or 2 rubber plates. The instructor will have a few additional plates available for cash purchase in during workshop. The instructor will provide Akua inks, paper, and a large black inkpad for participants. 

You are required to bring your own linocut tool to class. You can purchase it on Amazon here: Buy the Speedball Linocut Tool
