Once you have made a piece of pottery, you have to leave your signature just like a painting. I'm starting up again this weekend and I thought its time to create a new signature. I have been looking on Pinterst and Etsy for stamps. But I don't have time to order or make one, so I'm going to Michael's to look to stamps.
In the past I have made them or just signed my nickname "cassie" but since its been years since I have created anything I thought its time for a change.
I have a few ideas of what I'm looking for. My first thought was just a monogrammed C, but now I'm on the search for a bird. My dad has called me "bird" since I was a small child, so this might be fun. Plus it has a story to go with it.
You stamp your work after you take it off the wheel, I have never been a fan of trimming the bottom so I usually stamp the side of the pot along the bottom.

I like something like this but I have to be careful on the amount of detail since it will get lot in the glaze. Once I have found one I like ill post it on here.

Usually after you have thrown a pot, and it has dried a bit maybe even a full day you then place it on the wheel and trim the bottom off to make it less bulky. The reason why I don't like to do this is because I'm impatient and I usually find my self damaging the pot in this process.
Instead I take a tool and scrape away the extra clay where it meets the wheel. The edge isn't as clean but I don't mind.
