Stamp Designs for Mugs

In recent days I have trown lots of  cylinders in stoneware clay .
I have pressed stamps made out of plaster and many different small objects such as screw tops nails dowels etc, The impessions they leave are the basis for my mug designs. Handles were joined with slip later.

This impression was done by pressing in the top of a battery.

A paint brush top was pressed out from the inside to form these lumps

Plaster stamps cut out on the band saw for deigns to be  made later
