i have searched the clayart files, but could not find the info i was
looking for. i would like to silkscreen directly onto both flat and three
dimensional ceramic surfaces. i know it can be done because my teacher
said her friend rolled bottles onto the screen to tranfer the images.
what i'm wondering about is what kind of materials i should use. i was
thinking ofusing stains mixed with a small amount of gerstley borate.
will these
stick to the glazed and fired surface? will the detail hold when i fire
it? what
temperature should i fire it to? should i even mix the stains with GB
thanks in advance for any help. i am
also looking for Ceramics and Print by Paul Scott and Ceramic and
Screen printing by Kosloff at the library.
thanks again

I use china paints (either water based or oil based) to screen print on =
decal
paper....
I imagine that if you are going directly to the glazed surface, that oil =
based
will work the best.
Is there a reason that you are not exploring decals, or printing on slabs or
bisque?
Feel free to email me if you have specific questions.

Check your local library for a copy of Making and Decorating Pottery Tiles
by B.C. Southwell, Watson Guptil Publications ISBN 0-8230-2988-3. The book
goes into it in detail.

Hello Tim,
In March 1973 issue of Ceramics Monthly, there is a very informative
article called "Silk Screening With Slip", by Marvin Bartel (page
26-31). In it, he describes his technique in detail, giving recipes for
his clay body and two glazes, as well as recommendations for slip
mixtures. The primary focus of the article, are screen printed slabs
which are later formed into things, but he does describe a technique
transferring the printed image to a thrown pot using a paper towel.
(Pretty neat trick!)
I copied this article during a visit to the local college stacks, so
it's not a very good copy, but if you have a fax number, I can fax it to
you.
