Animal Prints: Learn the Art of Linocut Stamps with Susan Munderich and Animal Services

Participants will learn the basics of the linocut process to design, carve, and print their own rubber animal stamps. Using special tools, fine detail can be achieved to capture an animal’s intricate features and its unique character. Finished stamps can be used with regular stamp pads to adorn any number of items, including stationery and fabric. All materials will be provided.

It is recommended, but not entirely necessary, that participants come prepared with a pencil sketch no larger than 3 inches square of the animal they would like to create.
