Title: The sturdy stamp
For this project, we had to come up with an original design for a clay stamp that we would mark on each project that we did throughout the class. Once I came up with the design I had to pinch it and create it into a stamp.
I wanted to create something quite simple. So I decided to create Initials for my name because I thought it would look cool on my stamp. I also wanted something short that would show that this was the work that I created. I like to be creative with certain designs and thought that I could be quite creative with my initials at first, but I realized that that would be a little harder for me to incorporate - so I decided to make it simple and sweet.
I first started out making a bunch of sketches for what I wanted for my stamp and once I had enough sketches, I picked the one that I wanted to create. Next, I started by rolling out some clay to create the stamp as well as carving what I wanted it to say into the bottom of it.
