Make a Stamp with Lino cutting

Create a personalised stamp, for instance an Ex Libris to mark your books in style. #ws #make #fhk

During the workshop you will learn carving techniques to craft a unique stamp that reflects your identity and style. No prior experience is needed.

Following a brief introduction, you’ll transfer your design onto a lino block using tracing methods. From there, you’ll carve your image and complete your stamp by mounting it onto a wooden block.

Requirement: General introduction

Make sure that you have attended the General introduction of the Makerspace before comming to the workshop. For more information see https://sph.ethz.ch/general-introduction.

Preparation

Please bring an image or drawing of the design you'd like to carve. It should be in black and white (no color or grayscale) and no larger than 5x5 cm. Keep in mind that simpler designs are quicker to carve—highly detailed images may take longer and could prevent you from finishing your stamp during the workshop. If you have selected a digital image, make sure to print it in the right size before the workshop.
