Ceramic Transfer Printing is
aimed at those in ceramics who wish to move into print and
transfers, a very exciting area which has expanded massively in the
last 10 years. Transfers, or decals, have great potential as a means
of creative expression. Printmaking allows reproduction of both
photographic and ‘hand drawn’ imagery, pattern and text onto the
surface of two and three-dimensional ceramic objects. |

The first comprehensive how-to book on the topic!
Contemporary ceramists have adapted traditional printmaking
procedures to transfer images onto clay surfaces. The simple
processes don’t require fancy equipment. Use silk-screen decals with
light-sensitive emulsions to create a master image: then cover with
glazes, and voilá! Use colored slips for unique monoprints. Work
with stencils, relief blocks, or stamps, trying a variety of
materials to mark the clay surface. Each method is carefully laid
out in numerous photos, and shown on a finished piece.

A complete guide to achieving a fantastic spectrum of
colorful glazes for the studio potter, Color in Glazes looks at all
the methods of achieving color in glazes, focusing on coloring
oxides in detail, including the newly available rare earth oxides.
Types of base glazes and the fluxes used to make them are discussed
in relation to color response. Emphasis is placed on using coloring
oxides to achieve depth and variety of color, rather than just
resorting to commercial ceramic stains. |
