Engraving Stamps and Printing Techniques
A course by Pablo Salvaje , Illustrator and Printmaking Artist
Design your own stamps and print anything you can imagine
In this course by Pablo Salvaje, learn the relief engraving technique and become a human printer, exploring its possibilities to get results similar to screen printing, risography, and lithography. Discover the best of both worlds—the most creative and fun of a completely handmade work such as stamps combined with the great imaginary of Gutenberg's printing press and all its possibilities without the need for large spaces or huge machines.
Get to know all the necessary materials and their tricks, from types of rubber, types of paper, inks, and the different surfaces that can be stamped. Explore everything you need to customize your books, travel notebooks, create prints for your clothes, self-publish your own prints and fanzines, or turn your home into the greatest work of art.
This course is complementary to Pablo's other course, Relief Engraving and Contemporary Printing, where he teaches manual engraving and stamping techniques to create unique spaces.

Who is this online course for?
Illustrators and designers who want to get away from the screen and the mouse, anyone who loves handmade things and enjoys the production process considering the smallest details—whether for printing your clothes, creating your brand logo, making the invitations for your friend's wedding, or because you have no better Sunday afternoon plans and fancy a night in.
Requirements and materials
Shake off any fear, you don't have to be an artist with a pencil or an expert sculptor. Not much technology is used either, so all you need is a handful of patience, especially to keep calm and not hurt yourself. It's best to approach this technique as relaxing and meditative.
You also need a pencil, an eraser, tracing paper, a five-point gouge, an embossing block, and books with images that you like a lot.

Pablo Salvaje
A course by Pablo Salvaje
Pablo Salvaje is an illustrator, engraver, and printmaker born in Seville (Spain) who is currently in a stable relationship with his gouge, from which he has not separated himself for over seven years. He has used this tool to work on projects for clients such as Hyundai, Pinzat, and Desigual and has published a book, Alma Animal, which includes his wildest illustrations.
In 2015, he founded the private studio La Selva Bcn in Barcelona, a creation space where he teaches printing workshops for all audiences.
With nature as his muse, Pablo Salvaje's work aims to leave its mark, literally and figuratively, and create awareness about the planet we inhabit.
