1. Bisque: You can make press molds out of clay and bisque them. These work quite nicely and clay doesn't stick to them. Carve the inverse of your desired design into leather hard clay. For example, if you want raised lettering, carve the letters out of the press mold and the inverse will be raised. Remember to make your design about 10% larger than desired, to account for shrinkage.
