I always enjoy making things by myself so I decided to go Wax-Seal Stamp Making Workshop and it is more interesting than I thought. To be honest, it sounds difficult for me to make at first. But after I follow the instructor step by step, it actually quite easy. All you need is some clay, some tool for shape, wax and an oven. First, we take a lump of clay and push it into a cylinder as more smooth as possible. Second, we draw the pattern that you like at the top of cylinder. Then you put it in the oven for about half hour. Finally, you can stamp it when the wax melt.
I drew a pig in the clay because it is my zodiac sigh. It is very hard to draw it perfectly but you can draw some simply pattern like smile face or love shape. That would be much easy to carve and stamp. As you can see in my picture, it is not easy for you can tell it is a pig but I have already tried my best. So, it is easy to stamp it when the pattern as simple as possible. That is my experience for someone who wants to try it for first time. Although the result is not very successful as I expect, I believe practice makes prefects. I believe I can do it better next time. The art workshop is very interesting and meaningful, I can learn something from it and really enjoy attending it.
