Creation of stamps for the signature of your pieces.

A good number of ceramists told me they were interested to use, like me, an original stamp to sign their pieces and leave a recognizable trademark on their creations. So I decided to share my know-how and sell these very handy stamps.

The handle is wood turned, the ring material is brass and the pad itself is in resin (3D printed). A synthetic handle version is also available.

Everything is entirely made in my workshop in Verlaine in Belgium (woodturning, drawing + 3D printing and assembly)

Use

The marking of your pieces is done when the clay is soft or even better when it has reached the "leather aspect"

The stamps are also compatible with other materials such as "self-hardening" paste (FIMO type)

It is also possible to make any other stamp to decorate your creations.

What can you stamp?

If your logo is a drawing it is possible to print it in 3D to leave its imprint in the clay. Depending on the complexity of your drawing, the size of the print can range from 5mm to several cm. The minimum line thickness is 0.5mm and the distance between 2 lines is 1mm to guarantee the sharpness of the printing in the clay. 

Maintenance

The resin part is easily washed with water. You can use a soft brush like an old toothbrush to remove any material deposits. Do not give a strong shock to the resin head as this may break it. The wooden handle cannot be immersed in water. Use a damp cloth to clean it. Thoroughly dry your stamp before storing it.

Storage

Ideally on its stand if ordered as an option. In a dry place with a relatively constant temperature. Indeed, wood is a natural material, it could possibly crack.

The price?

Complete stamp: start from 45€ - quotation according to your project

Stand: free

Delivery: cost depending on the destination. Possible collection at the workshop.

How to proceed?

• Send me your logo project in .jpg, .bmp, .png, or .pdf ...

  • The drawing must be in good resolution (to avoid seeing pixels)

  • If you send the photo of your logo, I can also draw it but at an additional cost

• Give me the dimensions you wish

• Give me your full contact details (see contact)

  • Last name, first name, (or company)

  • Complete mailing address

  • Phone number

  • VAT number if company

• I will then send you a personalized quote for your stamp

• If you order, I will send you a 3D photo of the logo to be printed before manufacturing

• After your agreement, you are asked to pay your stamp

• The stamp is made in the workshop and then sent to your home or to a relay point

How many time to get it?

An estimated completion time according to the workload in the workshop will be included in the quote. A minimum of 3 weeks is needed for the production of the stamp.

Used materials:

• handle: local wood (ash, fruit tree ...) according to my stock. Synthetic wax finish. Made on a traditional wood lathe. Economy version with printed synthetic handle available on demand.

• ring: machined brass, matt varnish to prevent oxidation

• pad: high quality 3D printing resin (engineering grade) Precision to 50 microns.

• support: organic origin plastic (corn) biodegradable. 3D printed too
