A method of manufacturing a patterned stamp (100) for patterning a contoured surface (10) is disclosed. The method comprises providing a pliable stamp layer (120) carrying a pattern of features (122), forcing the pliable stamp layer onto the contoured surface with said pattern of features facing the contoured surface; applying a fluid support layer (130) over the pliable stamp layer on the contoured surface; solidifying the support layer (140) to form the patterned stamp; and removing the patterned stamp from the contoured surface. A corresponding patterned stamp, imprinting method and imprinted article are also disclosed.
