A course by Pin Tam Pon, Children's Stamp Workshop
Learn how to boost children's creativity and create a unique stamp factory
If you want to awaken children's imagination and desire to create, Julia Abalde and Clara Sáez, illustrators, creators of the Pin Tam Pon stamp set, and authors of the children's book ¡Tris, Tras!, invite you to their stamp factory—an imaginary place where you will discover the basic concepts of the world of stamping through fun games and experiments.

Julia and Clara are the hosts, who accompany you on your visit through the rooms of this factory, including the laboratory, the warehouse, the assembly line, and more. Throughout the tour, discover new techniques, materials, and ideas, along with the occasional character to guide you in the process of creating your own set of stamps.

A course by Pin Tam Pon
Created by Julia Abalde and Clara Sáez—illustrators, educators, and good friends—Pin Tam Pon is a stamping game that combines geometric shapes and primary colors, a simple premise used to create a universe of characters, stories, activities, and art workshops at the Miró Foundation, the Picasso Museum, and the Tabakalera International Center for Contemporary Culture, as well as publications such as the book ¡Tris, Tras!, available in Spain and Latin America.
The three basic pillars of his project are play, imagination, and friendship. They start from the most essential elements of imagery, to awaken imagination, ingenuity, and play in both children and adults. They love to find wealth in the simple, and transfer it to everything they do, looking for solutions that respect the environment and the people involved.
