Graphic clay Ceramic surfaces & printed image transfer techniques

This guide focuses entirely on the surfaces of clay objects. Artist Burnett considers ceramic vessels, plates, sculpture, and other objects simply as drawing and painting surfaces. The first section covers methods for mark making that are specific to clay, such as slip and staining, as well as more general techniques that also work well on ceramic objects, such as stenciling and decals. The remainder of the guide deals with various principles of printing on clay, including screen printing and image transfer. Step-by-step projects demonstrate each method. The book is richly illustrated with works by contemporary ceramics artists. -VERDICT Intermediate and experienced artists with some existing ceramics skills can find much inspiration here. © Copyright 2015.
