How to make your Makers Stamp from clay
A quick video showing a simple way to make your makers stamp from clay with step by step instructions.
It's easy to make your makers stamp from clay, simply model the stamp shape then press in the detail/letters/etc. Just remember to engrave everything back to front bearing in mind that elements that are pressed into the clay will be raised on the stamp and that you only fire to bisque temperature in the kiln.
You can be as intricate or simple as you are able to create in the clay that you're using but do consider how it's going to look when stamped into your work.
Have fun!

    Is slip like slurry but with colour added?

    • @PaulaArmstrongCeramics
      @PaulaArmstrongCeramics 7 дней назад

      Basically yes ☺️ I buy decorating slips for consistency of colour and because my main clay is a buff so isn't as good a base for bright colours but you can make your own by adding powder stains into your slurry/slip.

    • @PaulaArmstrongCeramics
      @PaulaArmstrongCeramics 29 дней назад

      If you're confident that there's enough to cover the edge then absolutely use less of the slab or role out less to begin with. It would be more efficient ☺️ For the video I had nothing else to make with the slab so just wedged it up to use for another day.

      You can pop a board on top as it dries to help. It not only puts a bit of weight on top but also slows the drying a bit.

    Hi Paula, im new to pottery and to your channel which i find really intuitive and inspirational. I live in Spain and having so many difficulties with translation of products. May i please ask you if underglaze is used on greenware or bisque? If used on bisque does it have to be fired again prior to glazing? Which would make it as 3 firings? Many thanks Joanne

    • @PaulaArmstrongCeramics
      @PaulaArmstrongCeramics Месяц назад

      Hi Joanne. Thanks 😊 I'm glad you're enjoying the channel. Underglaze can be used on both greenware and bisque. There's no need to fire again if painted on bisque but you do have to be very careful when you apply the transparent glaze on top. I'd suggest dipping is possibly the best option for applying the glaze if you can....

    Hi, Paula, I just finished watching your video, and finally have some one show how it done, simple and cute.i just ordered 2 slabs I guess that what u call it. of Das clay at Amazon 2 weeks ago. I'm a retired toddler and two yr old daycare worker.and do monthly activities with my niece's 10 yr son. he's in 2 grade. and thire class made this little clay house last year. and it looks just like yours .I gave everything to make this , QUESTION is this air died clay because I want to bake it in the oven. at what temperature?.and glaze it with vanish. his class did the same thing..😊

    • @PaulaArmstrongCeramics
      @PaulaArmstrongCeramics Месяц назад

      Hi. In the video I'm using clay that I fire in a kiln rather than air-drying clay but the techniques should translate pretty well 🙂 If you're using Das air-drying clay you shouldn't need to bake it as it just dries at room temp and once it's hardened you can paint/varnish it. It should have instructions on the packet if it's a type of clay that needs to be baked like fimo.

    • @PaulaArmstrongCeramics
      @PaulaArmstrongCeramics 3 месяца назад

      Hmmm, glaze is essentially a coating of a glass-like material over the ceramic so that's tricky. I think my first step would be to try reglazing with a matte glaze over the top and see if that helps. It won't cover the previous glaze but will melt and blend with it but it may help. I do however say to only reglaze if you really dislike the piece as it's always a risk when refiring Outside of that you could paint the surface with something like a metal or glass paint. A frosty spray maybe?

    Excellent video, thank you. I have a query I hope you can help me with...Can I mix the oxides you mention into the clay body, to colour the clay itself? I've come across a few videos online where this has been done, but the oxides are always mixed into stoneware. I use earthenware clay only (lower firing temp) and would really appreciate your thoughts on this. Many thanks!

    • @PaulaArmstrongCeramics
      @PaulaArmstrongCeramics 3 месяца назад

      Yes, you can but I'd suggest you test it on a small quantity of clay first. It also needs to be mixed very well or it'll be more marbled than coloured. It's also worth trying different quantities of oxide to test intensity but careful not to overload or it may stick to your kiln shelf or split the clay Have fun 😄

    This is so great!! Thanks for making the video. I was cutting the 'v' for each petal on a flat circle, and when I molded it into a bowl shape, each V was tearing and needed scoring and overlapping, which was more time consuming than I wanted... So this gives me a new way of making the petals without them breaking... AND, the base stays thicker and the petals get thinner as you mold them upward, taller, so it's more lightweight with a heavier base... thanks!

      No, it's coloured decorating slips which are basically clay watered down with a coloured stain in it. They don't vitrify like a glaze rather they act the same as the clay body.
