About the event
Explore the magic of printmaking through this hands-on stamp carving and storytelling activation designed for both curious beginners and younger makers alike.
Guests can design and carve their own custom stamp to use again and again on paper, fabric, cards, journals, patches, and more, creating tiny tools for storytelling, pattern-making, and personal expression. Participants will learn approachable carving techniques while experimenting with texture, repetition, symbols, and playful imagery.
Alongside the carving station, younger artists can dive into Stamp Storytelling (For the Littles) — a colorful introduction to printmaking using pre-made stamps, washable inks, drawing materials, and imaginative prompts to build scenes, characters, and tiny visual stories of their own.
This activation celebrates accessible creativity, experimentation, and the joy of making marks by hand.
✨ Materials include:
 • Carving blocks
