STAMPSCAPES...KICKED UP!
INSTRUCTOR:
Rhonda Zimmerman
COST:
$28.00
LIMIT:
16
   

IStudents must have basic Stampscapes knowledge and experience!

f you don’t know about these wonderful designs, please check out their website at www.stampscapes.com

This class is for the Stampscapes lover who wants more!  This advanced technique allows you to take your Stampscapes knowledge in a new direction onto a new surface.  We're not stamping on paper in this class - we're stamping on Stampbord.  The Stampbord accepts inks and is a perfect stamping material, but because the surface is clay, artists can apply negative marks and textures back into what they have stamped and colored, using carving tools.  The scenes are beautiful without the carved accents too!  The 4 pieces you make in the class are perfect for coasters and fit perfectly into a 5"x5" wooden box (not included in class).  These completed pieces are also perfect to display on an easel, for focal pieces on hand-crafted books, embellishments on wooden or papier-mâché boxes or even to mount in a shadowbox frame.  This is a very COOL technique you are sure to love! 

All supplies are provided.
