November 16 brings a hands-on workshop for book lovers at the György Ráth Villa (Ráth György Villa), where participants will carve a personal ex libris stamp using linocut. It’s a chance to mark every volume with the owner’s name in timeless style, blending craft with bibliophile pride.
Inspiration Before Creation
Before the carving starts, the Museum of Applied Arts (Iparművészeti Múzeum) opens its rich ex libris collection for a guided look. Expect a deep dive into the stamp tradition’s diversity—motifs, lettering, and formats—so you can shape a design that truly feels like you.
What You’ll Do
You’ll sketch, transfer the design to linoleum, carve, then ink and press your stamp. By the end, you’ll have a custom tool ready to mark your shelves at home. The session is tailored for beginners and seasoned makers alike, with materials and guidance provided.
