SUMMARY:Lasting Impressions: East Asian Seal Art Across Time and Media 2
DESCRIPTION:Why learn about seal art?\n\nSeals have been used for centuries 
 in many parts of the world but have gained popularity and even become 
 necessities around multiple areas of Asia. Today\, seals are still used in 
 several countries and can hold the same legal power as a signature. Master 
 caligraphers and seal carvers traditionally created these functional pieces 
 of art by hand in different materials such as stone and hard woods. Today\, 
 only a few of these Masters remain\, but technology\, while never replacing 
 the artists and their work\, can make this art more accessible to more 
 people.\n\nNote: This workshop will be held in person.\n\nLearning 
 objectives \n\nDuring this workshop attendees will learn:\n\n\n	What a seal 
 is and their function\n	Which materials are used for traditional and 
 technology-made seals\n	Useful 2D or 3D design software for laser 
 applications\n	How to convert designs and import them in the appropriate 
 software for laser cutting\n	How to create and modify 2D designs for 
 engraving\n	How to export designs to .svg file format\n\n\nDownload and
