Rubber Stamp Non Sequitur
Friday, August 13th

With Sarah Nicholls Using erasers and carving tools we'll carve our own rubber stamps, construct a hodge-podge assortment of words and phrases and stamp our way into some simple instantaneous books. Bring your own found text- hand made signs, lost pet notices, advertisements, informational pamphlets, tracts, spam messages, directions for use- or borrow some of ours. We'll go over the basics of rubber stamp making, string together some nonsensical phrases and produce some basic tri-fold pamphlets.
