Ceramic Transfer Paper – Decorating Made Easy

 

Using underglaze transfers is a great way to add intricate designs and patterns to your pottery projects and can add a professional and detailed touch to your pottery. 

 

Why Choose transfers?

 

  • Easy Application: Achieve instant decorating effects on flat or curved surfaces with minimal effort. Simply dampen the back of the paper with a damp sponge, place and press it print-side down on your piece, wait a few minutes, and peel off to reveal the intricate pattern.   

 

  • Versatile and High-Quality: Made in Japan, these transfers boast high strength and excellent adherence to raw clay, leather hard, and bisque. They can be applied over painted or unpainted surfaces and finished with clear or transparent glazes. Suitable for firing at a broad range of temperatures from Cone 05-10.

 

Product Sizes:

How to Use:

  1. Dampen the back of the paper.
  2. Press it print side down on your work surface.
  3. Wait a few minutes and then peel off to reveal the pattern.
  4. Once dry, add any additional embellishments.
  5. For glazing, gently dab the first coat over the transfer pattern, then brush or dip on subsequent coats.

 

Tips for Best Results

  • Avoid over-wetting the transfer paper to prevent smudging the design.
  • Experiment with layering different designs for a more complex look.
  • Use a light hand when smoothing out the transfer to avoid tearing the paper.

 

Important Notes:

  • Firing may cause a slight color change to the transfer pattern. We have several test tiles with clear glaze in the studio.
