CONT

Le pastillage est le contraire du poinçonnage : son motif en creux donnera, sur la poterie, un motif décoratif en relief. [...] on ajoute, sur l'objet, des pastilles de terre qui vont adhérer à la surface.

CONT

Pour le pastillage, utilisez des petits moules à pâtisserie ou bien créez votre propre motif.
