INTAGLIO pattern GREEK KEO...
My rubber stamp mats offer hand drawn images, most with reflective symmetry. This means they match side to side and top to bottom making large overall patterning a reality. Each Intaglio flexible rubber stamp mat measures 7" x 9" and all produce deep clean impressions.

I teach hand building ceramic clay at art centers where the current trend to embellish the clay slab surface before transforming it into a recognizable form is all the rage. Products used by my students for patterning run the gamut from cake decorating roulettes to Viburnum leaves but there was never an easy way to achieve something like an all over paisley. True, there are an abundance of smaller rubber stamps out there for PMC and polymer clay purposes but few flexible pattern sheets are available just for ceramic clay applications and I found none with reflective symmetry. A pattern with reflective symmetry allows the user to create a match side to side as well as top to bottom… so the pattern being impressed on the clay surface becomes endless! Check out the picture marked 6 UP to see this in action!

My Intaglio mats can be used to create designs in clay and soap or in metal etching, scrap booking and wall patterning. Anywhere you can use a rubber stamp you can use an Intaglio mat!

Each flexible rubber impressing mat measures 7" by 9". In the case of this border design mat, the mat itself can be cut into three border pieces for impressing which is what I did with the pictured tray.
