🔥 Underglaze Transfers

Our underglaze transfers are lead-free, food-safe, and screen printed on rice paper - perfect for greenware or bisqueware. They fire up to cone 10. For best results, use a zinc-free clear glaze.

Application on a wet clay slab:

• Apply the Transfer: Lay the transfer face-down on your clay. Use a well-wrung sponge to gently press from the center outward.
• The design will darken slightly as it adheres.
• Check and Adjust: Slowly peel a corner to check for full transfer.
• Press again with a sponge or finger if needed.
• Remove and Dry: When satisfied with transfers, remove paper, and allow transfer and clay to dry fully.

These can also be applied to leather hard or bisque.

🔥 Kiln Fired Overglaze Decals

Water slide overglaze decals are food safe and lead free. They should be applied after your ceramic piece has been glaze fired and they work best over a white or light-colored glaze as they are semitransparent.

• Clean the Surface: Wipe surface with rubbing alcohol.
• Pre-warm China: Soak in hot water (115–125°F) for a few minutes. Leave surface wet for easier decal manipulation.
• Prep the Decal: Trim design keeping mind there will be a faint raised line where your cut lines are. Soak decal in a bowl of warm water until the backing becomes movable (about 3 -5 seconds).
• Apply the Decal: Carefully slide the decal onto the wet piece being careful not to touch the back where the adhesive is. Slide the decal into position and gently smooth from the center out to remove air and water bubbles.
• Dry Thoroughly: Let dry completely (6+ hours or overnight).
• Fire: Once fully dry, fire at cone 012 on slow.
