Step into The Stamp Spot, a vibrant and hands-on creative printmaking station where you can explore the fascinating world of hand-carved linocut stamps – a technique reminiscent of the cherished tradition of hanko (personal seals) in Japan. Just as hanko are used in Japan to create unique and personal marks on documents and artwork, at The Stamp Spot, you’ll have the opportunity to carve your own story onto linoleum and transfer it onto paper.
