Signing Off with a Signature Stamp

The students' stamps are ready to use! Fun stuff. I can't wait for them to incorporate them into their work and the presentation of their jewelry creations!

Chop Chop!

...here we go!

For our first assignment, we are creating signature stamps. In China such stamps are called a Chop, and in Japan, they are called a Hanko. These traditional Asian seals are used to sign documents, artwork and other paperwork.

My students will:
• develop a design that functions as a unique, one-of-a-kind signature stamp
• carve it into a 1.5 inch EZKut print plate 
• use it to sign their work
