Editorial Review: Product Description: The first comprehensive how-to book on the topic! Contemporary ceramists have adapted traditional printmaking procedures to transfer images onto clay surfaces. And, with this thorough resource, anyone can take advantage of these techniques in their own home studio—even those with no printmaking background. The simple processes don’t require fancy equipment. Use light-sensitive emulsion to make your own silk-screen images for decals with glazes. 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. More than 100 images by leading contemporary artists showcase the techniques and provide a wealth of inspiration. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Image Transfer on ClayInside you'll find quite a few different methods for transferring images onto the clay surface. All of the suggestions are accompanied by pictures and photos. I would highly recommend this book if you're interested in experimenting and exploring new techniques. If you're looking for specific advice on a certain kind of image transfer this may or may not be the book. Some of the more basic methods are explained really well.

Rating: - Disappointingly Short BookI checked out this book to find out more techniques for transferring images to my pots. The areas covered were fine, but there are more ways to transfer images to pots that are left out. Specifically, I wanted information on making transferware. The book also does not include much information about the types of slips that can be used. I'd rather have recipes for slips than the Orton cone chart that was included. Rating:  - LOVED this book! Highly recommend!As a beginner to the craft, I am reading everything I can to enhance and broaden my understanding of the entire process. I found this book a wonderful resource, and would definitely recommend it to anyone who, like myself, prefers to "self-teach". I learn much more from reading books than I do in a classroom setting, and since I do not have the time or money to spend hours driving to class, sitting through others' inane questions, and generally find "group" learning detrimental and boring, this and other ...

Lately,at craft fairs,I have seen some fantastic image transfer on plastic, glass ,fired tile etc.surfaces with computer based printers. I am frustrated that no one has yet come up with ceramic quality inks so we clay people could photoshop our ideas then print out our own decals. Paul Lewing has a book out that reinvents low fire painting materials and application.If you are a painter,and want to fire tile, its a bonanza. I am ... Read More
