Here it is! Finally! At long last the video that shows how I carve my own, porcelain maker's marks for stamping my pottery. I hope it demonstrates it well, it was so difficult filming on this macro level. ALSO! Thanks so much for one million subscribers, what a surreal and insane number of people that is. (I'll have to think of a proper celebratory video-all ears if you've got any ideas!).
Here's a link to Mark Tallowin's website, the man who made my stamp pouch: www.marktallowin.co.uk
I used Audrey Blackman porcelain for these but you can use any, or a smooth, stoneware clay body/terracotta too.
