At the event named "Créez votre propre Ex-Libris" in Aix-en-Provence, located at 560 Avenue de la 1ère Division Française libre, attendees will have the opportunity to design, engrave, and assemble their personalized stamp to mark book collections. Led by experienced artist Emilie Walsh, participants will delve into the art of relief engraving and ex-libris stamps in a three-hour introductory course. Throughout the session, fundamental principles of relief engraving will be explored, allowing attendees to create their own rubber blocks for book marking purposes. This course caters to beginners and does not require any drawing skills. Participants will design a stamp, engrave their block, and assemble it on a wooden base. The workshop provides a colorful and comfortable setting equipped with presses, inking stations, and ample space for drawing and engraving. Each session is conducted in small groups to ensure personalized attention. At the end of the course, attendees will leave with their personalized ex-libris stamp, enabling them to continue hand-printing at home. All materials are provided, and a kit with tools, ink, extra plates, and paper can be purchased for independent engraving practice. Tea and coffee are available, and the course is tailored for adults aged 16 and above. The event is scheduled for April 23, 2024, with tickets priced at 65,15 €.
