What are some ways that a photograph can be printed on clay? I'm a
photographer and I want to try merging my two loves -- photography and clay=
.
Please post links, tips, details, techniques, methods or whatever those
who know would care to share.

There are dozens of ways to do this. To save time, I refer you to the
archives where there are many postings on this subject under my name.
I used to have a home page where pdf's on this stuff were posted but
as I am non- commercial, I finally gave it up. If you mail me I can
attach these pdf's to a return email.
There are books about this too. Paul Andrew Wandless authored one a
few years ago and there are several others.
Actually photos on ceramics go back over 100 years or more.
Gravestone portraits by the gum bichromate process on porcelain were
made in the 19 th century.
Now days that is done by color laser printer loaded with ceramic
pigment on porcelain or porcelain enameled stainless steel.

oh, and there was a seattle potter that projected video of faces onto
jugs though I can't remember his name or find him in a google search.
Somebody here might know his name.

you can silkscreen stains and if you fired the clay to the right
temperature (so it's just porous enough to take the emulsion but not
too porous to soak it all up) you could do a cyanotype

You can apply emulsions like Liquid Light
to the fired clay for black-and-white photos,
apply chemicals to a gelatin coat for some
vintage photo processes, or have digital
images turned into full-color fired-on decals -
a much cheaper process than it used to be!
I suggest Paul Scott's book "Ceramics and
Print", and books about non-standard photo
processes...there are several good ones.

Dear DJ Brewer,
Read the following texts.
Paul Scott, "Ceramics and Print". ISBN 0-86417-721-6. For the studio
Artist.
Albert Kosloff, "Ceramic Screen Printing" ISBN 0-911380-63-9. Covers the
industrial scene.

I recently attended a workshop by Shanna Fliegel in Peters Valley where she=
demonstrated the use of Thermofax 'screen printing' onto clay.
Great workshop, wonderful person.
The basics are to photocopy black and white images and send them off to be =
Thermofaxed . That involves placing your sheet onto thermofax paper and exp=
osing to light. The black ink is burned out on the thermofax paper and acts=
like a silk screen.
Because it costs about $15.00 per page you might want to place a lot of ima=
ges on the paper. You then can isolate an image and locally silk screen it =
using condensed slip.
The beauty is that you can use color.
You can certainly purchase your own thermofax machine but I think they cost=
about $1500.00.
Here is a sample image from Peters Valley web site:

I bought the Pyrofoto a year ago, but I haven't have time to try it
out yet. It looks like fun but I don't think it's too high resolution
like a good photograph.

Hi DJ
You may wish to refer to the article in the latest edition of Ceramics
Technical (May 2010 issue) which describes some new photographic/clay
techniques which include Gum Bichromate printing, a direct laser printing=
=3D
technique,, an indirect inkjet transfer method and a direct full color
photographic inkjet method. Some of these techniques are suitable for
Keraflex, and some are used on slipcast porcelain sheets.
The various techniques were developed by Jenny Hodge of Australia, Gracie=
=3D
la
Olio from Argentina and myself (US). We were all working independently
towards developing new ways to print photographically onto clay,and this
article outlines some of our results. Jenny can be contacted directly
through her discussion topic in the Keraflex Facebook group and is happy =
=3D
to
answer questions about her inkjet printing transfer technique.
I find that the direct laser printing technique is by far the easiest
method, resulting in a crisp, single color photographic image. In this
method, Keraflex Porcelain is directly printed onto through a laser print=
=3D
er
then fired to cone ten, retaining the image perfectly. The iron oxide in =
=3D
the
laser toner survives the cone ten firing, resulting in a dark reddish bro=
=3D
wn
image.=3D20
After printing, if color is desired, the image can be touched up with
ceramic stains or other oxides before firing. Any pigment which can be fi=
=3D
red
to cone ten can be used to add color to your image.
The joy in using this method on Keraflex, is that the Keraflex sheet (bei=
=3D
ng
flexible when soaked in water) can in fact be soaked in water AFTER laser=
=3D
printing, and then manipulated into a 3d form. This means that your
photographic image can be turned into a 3d sculptural form, and the
photographic image will be incorporated into the form itself. Because
Keraflex Porcelain is so translucent, after firing, the form can be lit,
revealing the photographic image throughout every layer of your form itse=
=3D
lf.=3D20
Alternatively, you can attach Keraflex to other clays using the Keraflex
slurry, or print onto it for a 2d clay photographic image, and backlight =
=3D
it.=3D20
The applications are broad.
Some of the other methods in the article such as the direct full color
inkjet printing method, are more suited to a 2d sheet of slipcast fired
clay. However this technique does require a high end flat bed printer.
You can find out more about Keraflex from www.keraflex.us
Hope this helps!
Rachel
