		Maple wood rolling pins for marking a texture pattern onto soft clay, made in the USA.   We now make these in 3 sizes (2", 4", and 8" wide) and we can make them to repeat the design over a long roll out for a quick way to texture clay slabs.   These hand rollers can also be used on the side of your work while still on the wheel if you let the clay firm just a little and use corn starch as a release agent.

		Underglaze stamps made to use with underglaze pads for use primarily on bisqueware.   We carry Potter's Pads from Minnesota Clay Company that fire from cone 06 to cone 9 with an underglaze mark transferred with these rubber surface stamps.   We make these using your design, but for this type of stamp a little bolder image is required to transfer well.   We recommend a clear glaze glaze spray or dip over the underglaze mark for durability over time.  Underglaze pads available in a range of colors, with black & blue being the most popular.
		Looking for your initials to mark your work?   Here is your easy answer, with over 120 pre-tested layouts in different font styles and stamp methods (either pressing letters in or letter to push up from a background).   Choose from these options and order without the need to provide artwork.   Several common sizes and shapes to choose from for the 3 initials layouts (you do not need to use 3 initials, we can make many of these with between 1 to 4 initials depending on the layout you choose).
		We offer over 500 stock designs for clay stamp tools, most are at about 1" size made in fine maple wood.   Click on the photo to the left to view different design groups like animals, plants, and symbols.   These stamps work well for ceramic water based clays, but not for Precious Metal Clay.   If you need one of these designs for PMC we can make them in a different material at smaller sizes.   We can also combine any of these images with text you provide to make custom stamp designs specific to your needs.
