Everyone is falling in love with the new KorTools and we are no exception. We learned about the new texture tools from Ron Lehocky and immediately we were 'all in'. We are stocking all the rollers and a large portion of the stamps. A few of Ron's latest hearts using the KorTools The textures are deep and crisp, and are ideal for polymer clay. We have been playing with mica shift and love the nice deep imprints made with ease and no sticking. The rollers create a length of continuous pattern…

Sarah Pike Pottery on Instagram: "I fully intended to make mugs yesterday but found myself carving more stamps instead. My kiln is far from full and more stamps barely add to its fullness, BUT carving stamps makes me happy. I’m doing a final clean up of yesterday’s stamp-making session before getting back to my mugs. A little trim here, a deeper line there, clean those burrs up there. (This sweet carving tool is the @diamondcoretools PF1) #stampmaking #stampcarving #stampmaking…

Hanna Lühl on Instagram: "This Is How I make my stamped plates. I don’t have a slap roller so I use a laundry mangle.

I’m always on the lookout for new ones. #ceramicplates #keramikteller #keramik #stempel #handbuilding #woodenstamps #handbuild #aufbautechnik #stampedinclay #stampedclay #stamping #stempelinton #töpfern #potteryforall #CREmerging #ihavethi

All sorts of tools can be used to carve and mark the…

Sarah Pike Pottery on Instagram: "Stamp crisis: when you carve new stamps out of clay and want to use them immediately but you have to fire them first.😫 Plus, kiln isn’t full and kiln must be full. Luckily I have a few (hundred) stamps to play with while I slowly fill it. More fancy feet. #notsopatientlywaitingformyself #fancypots #potterytechniques #pikestamp #stampcrisis #stampmaking #potterystamps #claystamps #handcarvedstamp"
