pottery tissue

Can someone help me to find a source for POTTERY TISSUE? What I have in mind
is a tissue to be used with the silk-screening process. An image is screened
with underglazes onto the tissue and the tissue is then applied to the
ceramic form and fired. This tissue can also be used for designs printed from
lino, etchings, monoprints, etc.

Heartfelt thanks in advance,
Marilyn, in Utah

Just use tissue paper as used for gift wrapping. CB

Paul Scott in his book on ceramics and print describes a process of
making monoprint applications using "pottery tissue." Is this regular
tissue paper, tracing paper or a special kind of paper for transferring
drawing to leatherhard clay? I don't find it in any of my glossaries.

Rosette Gault did a demo at a workshop a couple of years ago using
tissue tranfer. She used regular tissue paper and one of the super fine
tipped felt markers, then used a barely damp sponge to transfer the
drawing to the clay. Worked like a charm!

I need clarification on the markers? Water soluable markers?
Permanant markers? Assume the former, but wouldn't they
just burn off in firing?

Applied on top of glazes? on bisque? both?

Thanks
