Custom Pottery and Ceramic Stamps can be any shape. Pottery stamps can be any shape. Unlike rubber stamps these are hand made and shaped to the design. There seems to be expectations that a ceramic stamp has to be round or square. Since I make these pottery stamps by hand they can be any shape following the design. Here are a few examples of custom pottery stamp designs.

Please return the stamp to us. I’d be happy to replace it. All stamps are guaranteed for a life time of normal use.

If your favorite pet becomes jealous and chews the handle off we will replace the handle and return to you for free.

If the stamp has been otherwise damaged from mechanical use and miss handling with a hammer (maybe a child playing with a hammer?) there is a 50% charge for the remake.

Sticky Clay – Wet Clay

Typically I use the stamp when the clay is trim-able.  To avoid plugging up the stamp with clay.   
Sometimes things get sticky when pressed deep into fresh wet clay.   Cornstarch and baby powder will help with the impression too when the clay is wet.
If a little clay does get stuck in the stamp I use a stiff tooth brush to clean the clay out.  Then dry off and dip in baby powder before making the next impression.

Quick Video showing how to use the stamp on Instagram.

If you would like to order a stamp that is between 0 and .50″ please order the 1/2″ stamp here.  I used to have a 1/4″ stamp for sale but that caused some manufacturing problems.

So anything between 0 and .5″ is the 1/2″ stamp.

Typical turnaround is next week.

Thank you Steven for your encouragement and support.

Most times I apply the stamp after trimming before leather hard.   cool but not wet to touch.   A few hours or the next day after throwing.   Here’s a video from you tube with a demo.

Do we make plastic or rubber stamps?

We have looked and tried to make plastic or rubber stamps.   The product is inferior for use on clay.   I’m not happy with them.   After a few months of working with them, plastic and rubber stamps can be obtained else where.

We have the best price guarantee for all our stamps.   Meaning the best product at a competitive price (often better) compared to plastic or rubber stamps.

I do not recommend plastic or rubber stamps for clay, soap, wax.

Or impression into any thing for long term durability.

I might change my mind on the plastic.

Sorry Microsoft there are a lot of problems with the way you handle fonts and spacing.

For best results with a drawing use a very fine liquid roller ball style pen on white paper (i.e. photo printer paper or similar). You can do many signatures or drawings until you get the look you like.  As for size the bigger the signature or image the better the detail in the stamp. Circle the image(s) you like.   Then scan the sheet and email the PDF, PNG or JPG image to info@claystamps.com.   Please include a note of introduction, send links to your site and work, it is fun to make new friends from all over the world.

We do all our work in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator so PSD and AI files are the best.  Any vectored file format works with the fonts outlined are welcome.  A screen shot of a large design works great in a PNG format.   Microsoft Word Documents are needing too much help with fonts and spacing issues to guarantee a good image from.

Stamps of Any Size

We can create a custom stamp of any size.   We just sell them in half inch increments.   So if you would like a stamp at 3/4″ that is ok.   Please order the 1″ stamp and send the image for the stamp to info@claystamps.com with instructions.

Stamp sizes are:  1/4″,  1/2″,  1″, 1.5″, 2″, 2.5″, 3″, 3.5″, 4″ and so on.   So for instance, Any stamp design between 1″ and 1.5″ would be a 1.5″ stamp.  2″ <= 2.5″ is a 2.5″ stamp.  And so on.

Custom Stamp Sizes

If you would like a Custom Stamp Size an 6″ x 1″ stamp the same applies.    Send me an email to info@claystamps.com.   I have special pricing for larger stamps and plates for production work.

Stamps with a lot of small details tend to be lost in the clay.   I’ll send a note with any concern and ask for your verification of the design details at the requested stamp size with the proof.

Sincerely;

LeRoy

When placing an order please send the artwork to me in any of the following formats.

The impression from the custom stamps are sharp clean lines.

Use the stamp after trimming is done.

If applying the stamp on a sprig, place the sprig in the work first then make the impression with the stamp.

The use of RIO or glaze to high light the lettering then wipe off the excess works well.
