Clay Work - New Technologies and Tools - Section One

Enhance your clay handcrafting techniques by using a new technology which has become much easier to use. A laser cutter can be used to make a surprising variety of clay working tools. We can create small stamps to put your personal imprint or logo on unfired clay pieces. We can laser cut embossed rolls or sheet materials & use these to add decorative patterns to your work. Laser-cut stencils can be used to apply glazes in very detailed ways. We can design & fabricate custom hand-shaping tools and templates for reproducing a detailed profile on hand-thrown work. It is even possible to laser engrave fired ceramic pieces with patterns or an insignia/initials/makers mark.
