Stone seals have been used in East Asia for thousands of years. Similar to wax seals in Europe, they are used as decorative sigils to seal letters and sign artwork.

In this workshop, tutor Nao Fukumoto will guide you as you in choosing your own Tenkoku Moji (letter) or you can design your own seasonal symbol and carve it into a small square stone. Perhaps you may wish to design one of each?

The seals will be unique to you and will last forever and is a lovely way to embelish envelopes, gift tags, wrapping paper and more with a little hand crafted, seasonal spirit. The workshop is also perfect for anyone who might want to stick to tradition and use as a marque for their work.

All materials are included and for you to take home:

• Two stones for carving

• Silver & gold ink pads

• A selection of papers for printing

• Refreshments

There may be an opportunity to purchase tools on the day should you wish to continue this craft at home.
