How to use pottery stamps?
First of all, you need to prepare the material. Make sure the clay or ceramic is the right consistency for stamping. The surface of the product should not be too wet or too dry. Next, begin the stamping process:
- Press the stamp firmly onto the surface.
- Control even pressure to ensure consistent image application.
- Experiment with different angles and pressures to get varied effects.
- Combine various stamps to create layered textures or use different stamp parts to create custom designs.
When purchasing pottery stamps, remember such a considerable task as their care. You must clean instruments thoroughly after each use to prevent any remaining material from drying out and ruining future prints. Depending on the material, pottery stamps can be cleaned with water, a brush, or other suitable means.
Pottery stamps are a simple yet effective tool for creative expression. Experiment with different textures, patterns, and images to make your work 100% unique and memorable!
