Discover stamping and engraving techniques using household tools
As the name suggests, a photopolymer is a material that reacts when exposed to ultraviolet light and can be used to create stamps through photoengraving. With a few simple tools and an easy-to-follow process, anyone can make photopolymer stamps of an illustration or design.
In this online course, Gabriela Rodríguez and Xavier Robledo from Fábrica de Texturas, a Madrid-based studio and workshop, teach you how to create your own photopolymer stamps, as well as stamping techniques to get different textures and finishes.
