# Engraving Stamps and Printing Techniques | Domestika > Un curs de Pablo Salvaje · Craft · Începător > 1 lecție ( 2h 27m ) · 99 % din evaluările studenților de 622 sunt pozitive 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](https://www.domestika.org/en/courses/373-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. ## What is this course's project? Create a poster in the size of your choice, combining everything—stamps, ink, paper, and your imagination! ## 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. ## Conţinut ### Introduction In this unit I will tell you a little about my life so that you can get to know me and I will show you works made with stamps, in addition we will see the work of other artists who also use the printing in all its variants to express themselves. Inspiration is essential at the beginning of the course, so I want to take you on a journey through other branches of art, my influences and how they can help us when applying them to a project. ### Materials and First Steps In the second unit we will talk about more technical data, it is the friendly unit when it comes to consulting any doubt about tools and materials, since I will talk to you not only about what is necessary to make a stamp but about all the materials that we can use according to the specific result we want. I will deny you some myths of this work and we will discover all its possibilities. ### Let's do it In this unit we will take action but before we know the law of positive and negative, indispensable before moving to the rubber. We will see the basic strokes and perform a small test before entering our design. Once we have all this, we start. We will carve our first stamp and taking advantage of its result we will also see the textures we can get, we will see the versatility of the repetition, we will play with the color and I will show you some tricks to squeeze everything out. ### Stamping The last lesson will be dedicated to the stamping, both of our final project, and the use of stamps with different inks and different surfaces. We will talk about the cleaning and care of all the material when we do not need it. The final project, explained step by step and with the techniques that I will use, will clarify in practice everything we have done in the course. ## Audio și subtitrări **Audio:** Spaniolă, Engleză, franceză, italian, Portugheză, turc **Subtitrări:** Spaniolă, Engleză, Portugheză, franceză, italian, turc [Engraving Stamps and Printing Techniques](https://www.domestika.org/ro/courses/57-engraving-stamps-and-printing-techniques)
