You might want to write on your pottery as part of the design, to create your maker's mark or to write a dedication to someone who will receive your pot as a gift.
However, I’ve always found writing letters and words in pottery really tricky!
In this episode, I tell you about 6 ways I’ve tried to write letters and words in pottery with varying success!
✔️Etching handwriting into clay at the leather hard stage using a pen or pencil.
✔️ Painting lettering with glaze or oxides.
✔️ Creating 3D letter sprigs in clay with silicone sugar crafting moulds.
✔️ Slip trailing lettering, bisque firing and glazing with a transparent glaze.
✔️ Pressing lettering into leather-hard clay using metal letter stamps.
✔️ Getting a bespoke lettering stamp made from 3D printed plastic.
