I have a power sponger if you are doing say 50 of them. My guess is thats what Deneen does as well

 

 

Hey Mark, thanks! That is really helpful! 
When you say ‘power sponger’ what would I look for to find something like that online? Because looking for that on google is getting me nowhere lol

Thank you all so much for your help!

To glaze the medallion and get the cleanest/sharpest fill, do you usually use underglaze and sand it off? Or just glaze and sponge?

I’ve looked at Deneen Pottery’s medallion mugs and I can’t figure out how they get such a sharp image with fine detail on their medallions.

[Medallion Mug Question]

Hello, can anyone tell me what the best practices are for making medallion mugs?

I have been looking into the process and have noticed that everyone seems to use a different kind of clay for the medallions than the body of the piece. I use stoneware for my clay body and the grog in it makes it unsuitable for sharp looking stamps.

What type of clay is best for medallions?

What is the best type of stamp?

How do you get it on the mug securely without distorting the image?

 Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!
