How to Choose a Clay Stamp
Clay work generally calls for one of two tools, depending on the finish you want. Acrylic stamps deboss directly into soft clay with no ink needed — the standard choice for potters marking greenware before firing, and available in 3cm through 6cm to match your piece size. For a more permanent, deeper impression on leather-hard clay, or for combining clay work with other materials like leather or wood, a brass deboss stamp holds finer engraved detail and gives a crisper edge. Both stamps come on a wooden handle for a controlled press. Whichever you choose, simple designs with bold lines deboss more cleanly into clay than very fine detail — we'll flag anything that needs adjusting before production so the final impression stays sharp.
Frequently Asked Questions
Acrylic or brass — which is better for clay?
Acrylic suits most clay work and is the lower-cost option. Brass gives a deeper, more detailed impression for finer engraving.
Do I need ink to stamp clay?
No — both acrylic and brass stamps deboss directly into the clay without ink.
What size should I choose?
3cm suits small pieces; 6cm suits larger slabs. Choose based on your logo and piece size.
