Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
The very 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.

User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - 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 "how-to" books are my gold mine.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Ho hum
Good basic instructions,but nothing I did not learn in college 30 years ago... 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 waiting for some genius to show us the same for graphic image transfer. This book, while okay, is not it.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - A bit disappointed
This book is for the advanced and not the novice. Most transfers entail lots of labour. And the designs are somewhat messy and not so aesthetically pleasing. There are many coloured photos of examples, but overall the book, was a bit of a disappointment.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Image Transfer on Clay-Great Book
I am very pleased with the book 'Image Transfer on Clay.' It provides many examples of hands on techniques, and the photos are plentiful. Many ceramic books only provide photos of finished work with a brief description of technique. Image Transfer on Clay is rich in offering various methods and resources necessary to complete each task.





Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Stuffy
Image Transfer on Clay: Screen, Relief, Decal & Monoprint Techniques (A Lark Ceramics Book)
I could not find one image I thought was appealing. This book was perhaps over my purple head. I found the designs stuffy and the techniques way to complicated.
