    Have you ever wished you could emboss with one of your rubber stamps? It just might be possible. Depending on the stamp, it could work! Bring mounted or unmounted **deeply etched** rubber stamps to class and we will see how they work as embossing tools. Clear stamps are not suitable for this process. You will be able to make multiple plates during the class and will leave with three or more resin embossing plates, one mold, some samples, and plenty of ideas for where to go from here. This is a class you can come to with just your apron!

Materials fee of $15 payable to Instructor at class time includes:
  • Latex gloves
  • Quick curing resin
  • Mold putty
  • Mixing cups and sticks
  • Petroleum jelly
  • Masking tape
  • Various papers for samples
    and the use of:
  • Embossing machines

    Students should bring:
  • Apron or other covering to save your clothes

    Optional:
  • If you have an acrylic stamp mounting block, bring it 3” x 5” or larger
  • Several deeply etched rubber stamps. Photo stamps and those that are not deeply etched will not work for this process. If you are flying, just bring 2 or 3 stamps or plan to work from the many stamps I will bring along.
  • An embossing machine IF you have one that is easily transported. Also bring the plates and pads that come with it. I will have some to use in class.
