Stepping Stones

One of the people at my pottery group made a beautiful memorial plaque (out of stoneware clay) for her dog. Perhaps if you were to go to a local arts/pottery group and ask..there would sure be some people there who would be happy to help you with a design, and perhaps even make you a stepping stone using your design.

Once the stepping stone is made (you can make a raised design on it, or carve out a design) it is then dried for a week or two, then a bisque firing (1st firing, to really dry it out) then glazed...this is where you can either paint (with glaze), or ask the potter to paint on the design, it is then covered with a gloss glaze.

It is then fired again to a stoneware temperature. When finished it will be waterproof and Very Hard

Maybe worth enquiring about.
