MAKER MAKER: Hand-Stamped Stationary with Tara K. Wells
We’re closing out this season of MAKER MAKER with a hand-stamped stationary extravaganza!
Join Sackville artist Tara K. Wells and learn how to transform an ordinary eraser into a hand-carved stamp. Tara will share tricks for transferring drawings onto erasers and tips for carving and stamping. Use your freshly made stamps to create your own stationary for slow correspondence and the simple gift of snail mail. We’ll have postcards, notecards, letterhead and envelopes galore for you to work with.
Tara is a maker of many things, often using found or discarded items such as springs, plastics and typewriter parts as her art materials. Working in sculpture, installation, animation and quilting, Tara’s multidisciplinary practice is rooted in a strong sense of play and a “waste not, want not” ethic.
MAKER MAKER is a monthly program of seriously small after-hours art workshops. Led by diverse Maker Mentors, each workshop introduces a pocket-sized art project that can be made in two hours or less. Designed for accomplished and aspiring makers alike, MAKER MAKER is for anyone interested in making small things by hand with friends and fellow makers. This informal workshop series explores how working small can be practical, portable and playful, economical, sharable and even wearable.
MAKER MAKER is free, all materials are provided, and no registration required. This program is made possible thanks to funding from The Rotary Club of Sackville, the Municipality of Tantramar, and the New Brunswick Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture.
