Art Club: Wax-Seal Stamp Making Workshop

Yesterday, I joined the Wax-Seal Stamp Making Workshop during 12:30-2:00 p.m. because I prefer handcraft and painting to dance and music. After sign in, we selected a lump of clay. The first step was that we needed to work up it into a shape of seal. I pinched a heart-shaped handle of the seal. You can make any shape you like. Then, we pressed the front and back on the table. The surface of the seal would be flat. Second, I carved my favorite brief pictures on the stamp that were a pig and a emoji. I picked out the tools that I thought it was best to use and got the praise from others. (I’m so happy.) Here was a tips that don’t carve the pictures too deep because wax would remain in the seal, and it was not convenient to take out. Third, when I finished carving, I waited 30 minutes to let the seal was baked. After that, we lit the candle and waited for the wax oil to fall. We could stamp it until save enough. Finally, when the wax oil was cooled, we took the seal and got it done. I was failed at the first time because I carved my pictures too deep and it needed to be dipped in water before stamping. It was my first time to learn how to make a wax-seal stamp. The handwork can relieve stress and let people be more creative. Therefore, I’m happy and enjoy to join in this active and really suggest you can try to do that at next time.
