As easy as 1, 2, 3… one row, two rows, three!!! Did a little platter stamping today. All of the surface decoration, texture & pattern was done with just one of my handmade stamps.

Pressed in one by one… by one… by one…

Let the stamping begin… on another batch of pots today!
Big production Sunday is well under way!!!

A little stamping fun in the studio. Turning a plain platter into something a bit more special. All done with one handmade clay stamp pressed in one by one… by one… by one… by one…

So last week’s class demo on throwing a large chip & dip bowl…
also became this week’s demo on stamping a large chip & dip bowl!!!
Gotta love a good double-duty demo piece!!!

But never double-dip a chip!!!

So last night I revisited the class demo bowls from earlier in the week.
Sure, the altered rims & textured slip “could” have been enough.
But you know me… MORE IS MORE!!!

So I did more… go figure!

We also discussed sprig molds… did a couple demos…
but everyone liked stamping more!!! They always do!!!

After some demos & instructions last night, my SURFACE DECORATION class
even made a bunch of stamps for themselves to play with after bisque firing.

After yesterday’s trial’s & tribulations, I had a little “escape” when I got to do a little stamping with my SURFACE DECORATION class last night.

Of course I had to ride my bike to get there!!!

The large demo dinner plate needed some lovin’ too…
and some decorative stampin’ around the rim with that one handmade stamp!

So many stamps… so many choices! Yes, I do make own stamps!!!
Just a piece of clay with a carved pattern on each end.
Nothing too fancy… just old-school clay stamps!
