Rimas VisGirda is the man for this. I had the pleasure of taking a workshop
with him when I was at Southern IL U. Very informative. I still have the
stuff I bought to make decals somewhere in my studio. Never got around to
making any other than the ones for the workshop.

Dear Birgit;
With your background in printing, you will have little trouble making
decals. While teaching at Anderson Ranch in the early 70s, I printed
my own decals on decal paper using clear lacquer as a medium to hold
the pigments. I used a white calcium matt glaze at cone 10 reduction,
and after the pot was fired with that glaze, I applied the decal on
the fired surface, dried the pot thoroughly, and refired at cone 10.
The results were as good as drawing directly with the same pigments.
For the record, I made layers of color with different screens, just
as you might with normal serigraphy. My pigments were determined by
prior history with brushing the oxides on the unfired surface of the
glaze. it is a bit tricky getting the correct amount of oxide in the
clear lacquer and screening it to achieve the correct thickness, but
if you persevere, you will be successful. I cannot see any reason
that it would not work at cone 6.
My supplier was a printing supply place in Chicago.... can't recall
the name, but Google silkscreen supplies and see what turns up.
Cheers, Hank in Eugene
