In a few simple steps, you will learn to carve your own stamps from a rubber 'carving block'. You will choose a subject, create a design and learn to work with gouges.
To do this, you will start by drawing your project. Don't panic, Alette will be there to help you if you are lacking inspiration.
You will then use your self-made stamps and ink pads to make prints. This is how you make original cards, (gift) tags, patterns or illustrations.
You will leave this workship with your design printed on a post-card, as well as your new stamp. Nevertheless, you will have discovered an ancestral technique with Alette and will have all the keys to make your post-cards at home!

Meet Alette
Graphic Designer
After working for more than 15 years as a freelance digital graphic designer, Alette felt the need to create by hand.
She started a training in linocutting and carving, then letter press and bookbinding.
Her love for interactions with people naturally directed her towards teaching the techniques she now excels in.
These techniques are a way to slow down in a world where everything seems to go so fast. It's a perfect way to get out of your head and slow down.
She founded the Printmakers Club in 2022 to make graphic techniques accessible to all. Everyone can be creative!
When she is not dancing in her kitchen, she is completely obsessed by ink and can't wait to tell you all about it.
During the workshops, you will learn to work with different graphic techniques and be introduced to materials. So, are you ready?
