David - you can get potters' underglaze stamp pads for stamping. They look
just like an ordinary stamp pad, but won't fire off. I've used them, and
they work fine. But I've only used them without a covering glaze (which
would have to be clear, to show through). Whether a glaze would make the
image fuzzy, I don't know. I stamp on the greenware, not the bisque.

Can anyone give me some advice on using a stamp to imprint an image on a
mug? What can I use as the "ink" for the stamp? I want it in black and
I'm using a commercial stamp (like the stamps that use an ink pad). I'm
using commercial glazes from Duncan and I'm firing to 04 or 06 in an
electric kiln. With these glazes it doesn't matter if which comes first;
the glaze or the stamp. Any input would most appreciated.

David,
I have used both stamps and decals on my work. With stamps I have used
underglaze either on the stamp itself (difficult to get full coverage and
depending on your stamp it may be difficult to get detail). Another option I
have tried is stamping into the leather hard clay then after bisque painting
underglaze into the impression. Wipe of all the excess surrounding it and
clear glaze over. Voila! I use this technique when I want detail.
Hope that helps.

Minnesota Clay makes a stamp pad saturated with underglaze that is tailor
made for your purpose. See http://www.mm.com/mnclayus/

Dear Dai,
In reference to the question of the glaze being fuzzy over the stamped
impression, the glaze formula itself will be the issue and some will flux
under the glaze and some will remain clear and sharp.You may want to run
tests with a couple different clears on the intended clay body yo select the
proper combination.

I have seen "ink" pad sets especially designed for this purpose. The
ink/glaze generally has a wide firing range, and I'm sure 04 or 06 is
well within that. I have seen this at Clay Art Center in Tacoma, WA.
Don't know where you are, but I'm sure they could help you out by either
taking an order, or telling you where you could find it in your area, or
putting you in touch with their distributor, etc. Their number is
253-922-5342. I think they have a web site, as well, which you could
find with Google or such. Good luck!
