Signing Pots

I just read Emily Murphy's post entitled A Potter's Mark: Signing Pots. I'm glad I stumbled across it because I struggle with signing my pieces. It feels like I'm physically incapable of making a mark that isn't sloppy or too deep or too shallow. I want to have a signature like all those other potters out there - smooth, slightly cursive, truly signature.
But here Emily gives me hope. I could have a stamp made and never have to worry about it! In the past I've tried the make-your-own-stamp technique where you actually make one out of clay and fire it. Problem was, mine was crap.


*Note: I don't actually know Emily Murphy, but I've been reading her blog and aspiring to be her.
