Thursday, November 19 · 6:00–8:00 PM
$35 · Ages 12+ (adult accompaniment required for ages 15 and under)
Guide: Melissa Mott
Location: Handcraft Revival — Sugar House, Salt Lake City

Slow down during the busy season and spend an evening carving and printing your own handmade stamps.

Participants will design and carve rubber stamps inspired by the holidays and winter season, then use them to print cards or a fabric item. Think winter botanicals, stars, candles, citrus, snowflakes, folk motifs, woodland animals, celebratory patterns, or anything meaningful to you.

This is a relaxed, exploratory Folkcraft Social with a guide on hand—perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike.

Each participant will carve custom rubber stamps and use them to print:

• Up to six paper cards

You may create stamps for holiday cards, gift tags, wrapping paper, fabric printing, or future seasonal projects.
