SMALL PRESS: Personal Stamp & Print Workshop — Portland

Start with a shape. Leave with a mark that is yours.

SMALL PRESS is a beginner-friendly printmaking workshop where you'll design and carve one reusable personal stamp.

You don't need to know how to draw.

Start from our curated Design Library or adapt a simple idea of your own.

You'll learn how to:

• Simplify a design
  
• Understand positive and negative space
  
• Transfer a mirrored image
  
• Carve safely
  
• Make a test proof
  
• Refine the block
  
• Print a small edition
  

Once carving is complete and all sharp tools are collected, the room shifts into printing mode.

You'll then use your finished stamp across note cards, gift tags and mini art prints.

No previous printmaking experience required.
