What you'll do
Carving is my form of meditation. The single focus of tool cutting rubber helps me to destress - plus I have something gorgeous to print with afterwards. Carving stamps is relatively inexpensive, does not require a lot of space and is highly gratifying and addictive!
In this crafts class I will introduce you to my process of designing, carving and printing. I will share with you my materials, techniques and tips. We will talk about simple blocks, layering stamps and repeating tile stamps. You will then design and carve a small rubber block and then print with it, creating some beautiful stationery.
I have been developing my carving and printmaking skills for over 3 years and love to create gorgeous art prints and unique greeting cards. Not only do I use stamps in my daily art practice but I also love to get crafty with homemade wrapping paper and gift tags.
Class outcomes:
- Breathe, relax, carve.
- Learn basic carving techniques.
- Create some beautiful cards and take home your stamp to use again and again.
Knowledge Required
None, but it might be a good idea to have a little think about a simple image that you might like to try and carve.
What you'll get
Their completed rubber stamps and anything that they have printed.
What to bring
Everything will be provided.

a birthday, hens party, team building activity, corporate event, bucks party or Christmas party.

I learned some basic techniques & where to begin & had a go at making some stamps of my own with the tools provided. Rowan’s enthusiasm for block printing is so contagious. She’s inspired me to try crafting some more out.

The workshop is worth everything -- the materials, knowledge, and the teacher. Rowann is very kind and entertaining. She'll give you advices with stamps or materials, and even with how you'll deal with what you want to do. It's a very calming and fulfilling activity and before you know it, the class will be ending.

Rowan is a great teacher and passionate about her art form, obviously very talented at it. I enjoyed the course, it was harder than I expected but Rowan gave me help. I think you do need basic drawing skills or more designs to trace. The equipment we used was all good quality and there was plenty, no waiting to use anything. The venue was very relaxing and inspiring. Thank you Rowan

I took my mother to the class as a surprise birthday activity and was not disappointed! Rowan was a wonderful teacher and host - knowledgeable, warm + friendly, and well prepared for the class. The space was inviting, all the materials were available for us, and we were able to make speedy progress in our block printing skills during the class! Highly recommended.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. We're inspired to carry on block printing at home. Rowan was lovely- very informative and generous. Cute house, good light and very funky. We loved it.
