Learn the basics of relief-printmaking with Shelby Pence of Shelby ARTifacts! Learn about the tools and materials and how to use them. In this hands-on workshop, you will get to design and carve a 4x6 stamp (or multiple smaller stamps). Participants will receive hands-on guidance and pro tips throughout the design process and will leave the class with a custom stamp to use for all sorts of projects at home. No experience necessary, and all supplies provided.

Shelby likes to create a wide range of original artworks. Specializing in printmaking ranging from block prints to gelli plate printing, she focuses on the elements and principles of design. She also enjoys hand-crafting projects such as handmade paper, journals, or collage kits. Shelby recycled materials in an extensive array of projects to lessen the amount of waste in the world. As a teacher, Shelby strives to inspire self-expression in her students. She works to find a balance between instructor guidance and emphasizing individual creativity.
