Draw your own lettering design and carve it into a rubber stamp! Pretty great, don't you think!?

We are passionate about what we do and we want to inspire others to create and give instructions to help you make your own designs and to have a product to take home after the workshop.

The workshop will be mostly in English but we will help in Swedish as well!

We start the workshop with lettering together with lettering artist and designer Sofie Björkgren-Näse.

We will explore letter forms by drawing different letter styles.
We practice replacing self-criticism with creativity.
You will get basic knowledge of the anatomy of letters and
you will create your own lettering design to use when making a stamp.

After lunch we continue with designing, carving & printing rubber stamps with printmaker Tian Gan. Transfer the letter forms you've just created into a hand-carved rubber stamp and learn various stamping techniques!

Be introduced to carving tools and materials;
Learn designing and carving techniques and create a stamp of your letter form design;
Try stamping hacks like masking, gradience and pattern-making;
Print a notebook cover with your own stamp;
Participants will be encouraged to help each other and share their creation. Stamping is fun when you do it together!

All material and fika is included in the price. We have a 45 min lunch break and you can bring your own lunch box or buy at the nearest coffee house or supermarket.

There are a maximum of 12 seats. We have a minimum of 8 participants for the workshop.
