Mandala-RC2-8

Our handcrafted round mandala stamps are available in three sizes. The beautiful designs are very intricate to create and therefore somewhat more expensive than our other stamps. The stamps also need to be a minimum size to fully showcase the fine details. The larger the stamp, the more detailed the impression. Unlike the many 3D-printed plastic stamps on the market, our mandala stamps are deeply milled and have beveled edges. This allows them to be easily removed from clay, and the impressions look incredibly three-dimensional. The clay stamps are made of solid hardwood: cherry, beech, oak, etc., sourced from sustainable European forestry (FSC certified) and manufactured in Germany. All stamps are shipped freshly oiled. After the oil has been absorbed, they will become lighter, and you can re-oil them with linseed or tung oil. If necessary, clean them with warm water and allow them to dry slowly. Afterward, they should be treated again with linseed or tung oil. This way, they will last for generations. You'll achieve very clear results on clay if it's a bit drier and no longer smears. Then, gently and evenly tap the stamp into the clay with a rubber mallet. With a little practice, you can create perfect impressions on slabs this way. Of course, many other methods work, such as filling a light sock (or something similar) with cornstarch and lightly dusting the surfaces to be stamped. This makes it easy to use the stamp even on very fresh clay. It also works on polymer clay for jewelry making. We ship plastic-free and carbon-neutral, and all packaging materials are compostable.
