signing pots

Hello Everyone, How do most potters sign their pots? First initial then full last name or just first and last initals or some other way? Thanks, Sandi

I don't know that there's a "most potters" way, actually. I have pots with first initial, last name, but the way I sign my own pots is my 3 initials--first, middle, last. A lot of potters make their own personal stamp to use instead of signing, which I like, but I've never gotten around to making one. I think it's a personal choice.

i just print my last name: GRABER

i used to date the pieces but it turned out a lot of people thought they were buying an "old" pot with last years' date on it - and bought nothing - so i stopped dating pieces. meanwhile i swear what i did in 1994 and 1995 was my best work...

see ya

I love the stamps, but don't have one myself. My first (nick)name just seemed to lend itself to all flowing together: The T formed the backbone of the E which elongated at the end to add the slanted line of a Z. With Tez being rather unique I had no problems with wondering "which Tez?"

I have a stamp that I made with my initials (kind of stylized) on it and use that to sign the pot.

Find a local printing house that's given up letterpress printing. Persuade them to sell (or give) you enough type characters for the signature you need. Choose a serif or sans typeface (I use serif), about 30 or 36 point (or whatever turns you on). Making sure they're exactly in line, carefully fasten them together with Araldite, to make a complete stamp.
