\nA symbol is a single image&mdash\;a leaf\, a spiral\, a key&mdash\;that can become a kind of visual shorthand for something much more meaningful. This workshop will get you thinking ab out what symbolic imagery feels personal and impactful for you\; then you& rsquo\;ll design and create a stamp of your very own to ink up &\; shar e everywhere&ndash\; letters\, journal pages\, books\, etc.
\nStamp- making challenges us to think about negative space &\; mirror imaging a s we create&ndash\; negative space is the area around your design that hel ps define it&mdash\;think of it as the silence that makes the music stand out. In stamps\, the background space is just as important as the image it self. When you create a stamp\, you&rsquo\;re carving into a surface that will be flipped when stamped onto paper. That means your design needs to b e drawn in reverse\, especially if it includes text\, arrows\, or directio nal imagery. This activity is a great challenge for your brain as well as a fun exercise in personal preference&ndash\;you&rsquo\;ll leave with a sy mbol of who &\; what you are to share and make your mark!
