How do I make stamps?

Making Stamps/Positive

To make a stamp with a raised profile, it is easiest to first carve your design into clay or plaster. Then form a moat around this with clay and pour plaster over it, making the negative. The advantage is that what you are carving is the same as what will eventually be on your piece (not the negative of it.)
