UP FOR SALE: RYCRAFT Cookie Press Stamps Ceramic Clay Terracotta 4 Original Recipe Book 1975 Eleanor Rycraft and her husband, Carroll, started Rycraft?s in 1968. As far as we know, Eleanor Rycraft was the first American artist to introduce finely-detailed, handmade-in-America terra cotta cookie stamps. Originally, Eleanor patterned her unique ceramic cookie stamps in the manner of the antique wooden Scandinavian stamps which have been handed down through generations. In her rustic workshop on the family farm in Corvallis, Oregon, she created over 250 designs in a diversity which appeals to all peoples. Most of Eleanor and Carroll?s original designs have been retired now and the tradition of handcarving new designs was taken up by their son, Robin Rycraft, in the 1980?s. The more than 450 current designs in the Heirloom Collection are available in a wide variety of ceramic products and silicone molds. Not only has each beautiful and unique design been carved by hand, but each individual cookie stamp, craft stamp, and Keep It Soft has been cut out, imprinted and glazed by hand using the traditional production process which began over 50 years ago.
