If a design is made with pencil or carbon paper (transfer paper) on white
commercial bisque tile, will it burn out after applying underglazes and then
dipping the tile in clear glaze ??? --- or will it still be visible after a
^06 firing?? I am doing a couple of projects some local youth and would
like to allow them to put their rough designs on the bisque tile before they
are glazed with the hope that after glazing and firing the initial "sketch"
will be gone.

It will burn out.

Pencil marks will burn out and so will pure carbon,
but...carbon paper often holds the carbon in place
with wax, which can resist glaze. Use homemade
carbon paper instead: make the drawing, then rub
the back with soft graphite pencil and retrace
the drawing in place on the tile. Note that very
heavy graphite lines can resist glaze, too, so keep
it light!
