Crafternoon Delight*

From Gennines Art Blog

If you've been reading for a while you'll know I have been organising little crafting events for my friends for a few months now, and we have another one running in May. And if you hadn't guessed by the image, May’s session will be doing some DIY stamp carving.

The plan is that each person will get a soft carving block to create your design on, a mount for your carved stamp to make it easier to use in the future and an ink pad. Plus I’ll be getting some proper carving tools to make the job easier! And as always there will be some tasty treats to accompany the afternoon.

And after a little chat with some of the attendee’s we thought it might be nice to open up the afternoon to some other crafty people in Sheffield too. There are a couple of seats available at the next event which will be held on the 13^th May at 2pm, so if you fancy it please get in touch on ohgoshem {at} googlemail.com or leave a comment with your email address in it. The cost is £8 which covers all the materials and food. As I think I’ve mentioned before about these sessions, there is no real teaching as I’ve never tried this before either, it’s more of a come along and have a go sort of thing!

{It might also be worth having a look at some inspiration on what type of stamp you’d like to make, so I have set up this pinboard, it is a little sparse at the moment, but I will be adding to as I find great stamp examples - http://pinterest.com/oh_gosh/ink-stamps/
