Laser cut basics: make your own rubber stamp 16+ years

Learn the basics of Adobe Creative Suite to create a personalised rubber stamp in the Darling Square Makerspace.

Do you have a logo or design you would like to make into a stamp? Rubber stamps are a great way to brand or personalise your products and creations.

Led by experienced facilitators in the Darling Square Library Makerspace, this workshop is a great introduction to laser cutting using Adobe CS software. 

You will be guided to create a stamp design using your own logo or design. Once you’re happy with your final design, we’ll laser cut it for you.

You’ll receive your rubber stamp design during the class. You can add a 3D printed handle and your stamp is ready for action!
