That is so smart. I have my screen printing setup so I’ve been trying to make underglaze transfers but your way makes it so much simpler! Definitely going to try this method out!
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques with us. I've made silk screens for t-shirts many times and I can't wait to try this in my pottery studio 😊
Amazing video, thanks so much! I started using the stamp technique but I'm running into all the problems you mentioned especially the time sensitive issue. I need to try this now.
I used a Mayco silkscreen for the first time a couple weeks ago, I have a friend that likes lizards. Then water colored other underglazes in the negative spaces. It was totally cool.
Have you tried using a flexible rubber rib to push the glaze trough the design instead of your finger? I'm wondering since in screenprinting you normally use a squeegee and a rubber rib can easily act like one and I'm thinking it might result in a cleaner print.
Hey you know this paper that you use for the designing the cups, can you make them yourself with special different designs or do you have to buy them? Have you ever made some yourself ?
Kinda, the main reason that we use silk screen medium is too thick in the glaze so it doesn't leak through the design. If you spray you would have to very lightly put multiple coats... Like...6 And when I tried brushing I couldn't push the brush down hard enough to go through the silk screen. This seems to be the easiest method for me
PAINTERS TIP! Never use the business end of paint brush to mix your media. It can seriously mess up your bristles killing your brush. (See what I did there, I used your thing back on you to make a point. Get it? You get it.) Great video very helpful. My instructor said that you kind of need to use them on the leather stage so that they stick down but it's good to know that I can hold it if it's small enough. I just had a custom one made and I haven't used it yet cuz I don't have any appropriately sized surfaces. Have you ever tried using something like a rubber stamp that you've coded with underglace with like a brayer or something to stamp a design on?
Great video. I've been wanting to try this. I see in the comments you get the silk screens off etsy. Would you be willing to share which store on etsy? Thanks.
Thanks for the great demo. Question: do you know the thread count of your screens? Is the mesh coarse with large holes, or is it fine, where you can barely see the mesh? Thank you!
I do not know the thread count but if you follow the Etsy link down in the description below and ask the person who made them I'm sure she would tell you. I do know that you can barely see through the mesh though
if I could find a way to reliably push the wack through the symbol then I would put underglaze works a little better because I can wipe underglaze off and try multiple times if I need to. Wax resist would probably be a little harder
I know these silkscreen medium does not need to be raised lines, you just mix it in with the underglaze or glaze of your choice and it makes it thicker so it can push through the screen without leaking. I also have stencils of some of these symbols of showing you in today's video the underglaze usually pushes out of the sides of the stencil and stencils are usually made of some plastic material that are much more difficult to do this technique with. TLDR I've tried to do it with stencils and silk screens are easier
No and no. The entire point of making the underglaze thick is that it pushes through the image. If it's too thin at all it'll just bleed. I tried about 10 different ways to make it easier but it doesn't really work without a thick enough glaze or underglaze
Have you ever used tried to use Perl XS powder in your Clay? CU's I have. What are. I have pearl ex powders. And brown Clay and I want to see if you could test before I even try it, paying perfect powder in my. In my play. Firing it.
Yeah. by the point that we had established that were working with underglaze I was kind of hoping everyone would understand that that's what we're working with in the video. Hopefully everyone understands the context
