Custom Makers Marks

MAKERS MARK STAMPS

Sign your pottery with your initials, logo, or personal mark.

Makers mark stamps are made for potters who want to sign every piece they create. Stamp your bowls, plates, mugs, and more before firing or baking. Each stamp is laser engraved into durable cast acrylic for precise, crisp detail, then finished with a slick release coating that helps it lift cleanly from your clay.

Sizes and Handles
Choose from five round sizes, ranging from 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inches. Then pick your handle:

• Modern: An acrylic handle with a rubber grip band and a ball chain, so you can wear the stamp around your neck while you work or hang it up for storage.

• Traditional: A classic wooden handle.

Design Tips for the Best Impression

• Keep it simple. Initials, a short name, or a simple symbol work best at these smaller sizes.

• Avoid very small text and fine lines. Thin details can melt during engraving or break off when stamping.

• Use outlined letters and shapes instead of solid fills for larger designs. Solid areas push aside a lot of clay and can leave a poor impression.

• Use single-line borders. Double borders can trap clay between them and pull out chunks.

• Avoid inverted designs, such as light text on a dark background. Clay has trouble filling them and can tear when the stamp lifts.

• Send black-and-white line art. Color, grayscale, and shading are converted to solid black and may not turn out the way you expect.

• No need to reverse your art. We take care of that.

Artwork Files
Upload your artwork right in the designer. Image files such as JPG, PNG, and WebP show a preview on your stamp. PDF, AI, and EPS files upload with your order but won’t appear in the preview, and we’ll still use them to make your stamp. If you upload one of these files, please convert all text to outlines first. Please don’t upload Word documents, since they can’t be used to make your stamp. For the best results, upload the clearest art you have.
