How to Make a Name for Yourself
by Gini James | Read Comments (3)
Having not yet come up with a good, clean way to sign my pots, I decided to try to make a signature stamp. Using a broad-tipped marker, I signed my name on plastic wrap, flipped the plastic wrap over to the reverse side and traced the outside lines of my signature onto a pad of clay with a needle tool. After letting the clay dry until just before leather hard, I carved away the excess clay with small tools and, voila, the signature appears in relief. Create an embossed signature using the same plastic wrap but this time use a dull pencil to impress and don’t carve. You can learn more about other ceramic processes from handbuilding to setting up a studio in Clay: A Studio Handbook.For Further InformationSee a term you weren’t quite sure of?
