Learn rubber-engraving techniques to create personalized stamps that combine letters and images
With a customized stamp, you can print anything, from your initials to a portrait of your pet. The only limit is your own imagination. In this online course, María López, whose work has been exhibited in Colombia, Spain, the US, and Japan, teaches you how to create your own personalized stamps.
Discover the secrets behind rubber carving, combining letters and images to bring to life a unique Ex Libris that conveys your personal style.
Begin by getting to know María López as she talks about her journey as an artist and where she gets her inspiration.
After going over the materials you need, immerse yourself in the carving technique. Learn how to work with gouges and stamping materials, as well as how to prep the rubber for carving. María then gives you some tips on carving letters and choosing the typography for your stamp.
Next, discover what an Ex Libris is and move on to define the idea for your final project. Illustrate your stamp in a range of compositions, and delve a little deeper into the circular structure by learning to curve the text using a simple method.
Now for the exciting part! Your teacher shows you two ways to transfer your design to the rubber, before it’s time to get carving following María’s steps. Once you’ve finished, test your stamp with different inks on a variety of surfaces. To wrap things up, attach your stamp to a wooden block for a professional finish with a personal feel.
