We recently hosted a webinar with Lindsay Scypta where she shared all of the details on making custom stamping tools using a laser cutter. In this excerpt from that video (which is now on CLAYflicks!), Lindsay experiments with the tool she made in the workshop and shows the different ways it makes marks. She shows how subtle design choices—such as tool spacing, alignment, and engraved details—affect the final surface pattern. Her techniques are super inspiring! –Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
