Traci Bunkers 1:30-4:30 Saturday	826 - Carved Alphabets	[back to quicklinks] $ 70
Discover how easy it is to carve your own alphabet stamps, either from your own original lettering or from existing fonts. This low-tech process is fun, easy, and addictive. I'll teach you the skills needed to carve your one-of-a-kind alphabet and get you started so that you can finish up on your own, outside of class. We will be using simple carving tools and eraser-type carving blocks. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is--and no carving experience is necessary! Supply List: --linoleum cutter & handle (small & large V-gouge and U-gouge are the main cutters needed. I like the Speedball set); --Exacto knife, blades, cutting mat --pencil; --carving blocks--several large eraser-type, such as Staedtler master carve Artist Carving Block or Speedball Speedy cut. For a whole alphabet you will need 3-4 blocks that are about 4"x6" depending on the size letters you are carving; --printed fonts or your own lettering; --stamp pad; --paper to try stamps on Questions?
