Would you be able to send me a copy of this you mentioned?
I'm really getting into this photo processing on pots and want to know
everything about it. Thanks.

Happy Potting.

Well first Laura,
Have you checked the archives? May I suggest that as a first step?
http://lsv.ceramics.org/scripts/wa.exe?S1=clayart
try using various related key words. This has been discussed before. Are
you a teacher at Sandia High? Or is this an assignment. This of course has
some bearing on how we approach your problem......

Hi Laura,

An excellent book covering that topic is Ceramics and Print by Paul Scott -
U.S. publisher is The University of Pennsylvania Press, ISBN 0-8122-1575-3.
It's readily available and you can probably either find a copy in your
public library or browse/buy a copy at New Mexico Clay there in Albuquerque.

Diane in Oakland/Berkeley, where just this week, right on schedule, all the
pink flowering trees around the Bay Area have suddenly put on their annual
show.

Hello Laura,

Here's a suggestion:

Contact a local silkscreen or "screen printing" company and tell them
you are in High School working on a photo silk screen project. Visit
them and bring your samples. Look at their examples and find out how
fine a work they can do, because your photo will become transferred
into lots of fine dots. Not so fine with silk screen. A magazine photo
has 150 dots per inch, the silk screen printing process usually yields
only 16-30 dots per inch (DPI) unless you find a specialty fine decal
or electronic printers. Your local tee shirt shop can only do so much
for you. But it will get you to the point of having your image prepared
on a small silk screen frame. If your image is small, make multiples of
them and "gang them up", as they say in the printing business.

There are industry-made ceramic inks. They are oil based and are
printed on a special transfer paper, a decal paper.
This paper has a thin gelatin coating. You print on the paper. Then you
print a thick clear lacquer coat over the image in a circle or square
etc. This clear coat holds the ink on the paper and becomes a slidey
skin when you soak it in water...a decal.

Decals are best applied to a glossy surface. A dry matte surface is
iffy but possible.
The decals fire around cone 018.

I haven't covered it all...others will.

Good Luck
