How to Transfer an Image onto Clay 

I am absolutely amazed by this process!!! I can not thank you enough for doing this. I’ve never even heard of this method -!: I can’t wait to try it!! Do you happen to have a video on how you made the box you showed in the beginning? It’s absolutely beautiful and would make a great wedding gift!!!

Once again you explain with accuracy and knowledge. Thank you for making it look do-able.

One of the finest instructional videos I've ever watched. Thank-you for sharing with the world.

Thank you for sharing this method! I love the hands on quality and that you can use different colours. There is another method of image transfer that also works great, but it’s always a sepia image, because it’s basically fired on iron oxide. It’s a specially coated paper that you laser print. The printer has to be a black-only laser printer that has iron oxide/ferrite in the toner (mainly Canon and HP models). Once printed, you put the printed paper in water, so the coating/film separates from the paper. You use this film like a water slide decal. You apply it to a fully glaze fired piece and bisque fire it again. Search for fired-on images (youtube deletes my comment if I share the link), they sell this paper, explain how it works and have a list of worldwide distributors. They also have a long list of working laser printer models. It’s an easy method and works very well.

A fantastic clip. Very well done! I am so excited to try this! Thank you so much!

I just found your site a few days ago and have really learned alot from the several videos I've watched of yours. Hope you continue making videos 👏👏🙌🤩😍👍

I've seen that clay/slip (30%?)added to the pigment and binder will bond it to the clay body when firing to prevent smudging. Learned this from Andy Ward's Ancient Pottery RU-vid videos. Different style, but clay and pigments don't know that. I don't know if it will work with this roll on - blot off technique. But give it a try and see what happens. On a completely different note, you have a wonderful voice. Sounds very euphonious to me. Love it, very soothing.

Beautiful box

amazing!

I love this. Thanks for posting. How do you dry the tiles so that the print doesn't become damaged and to keep the tile from warping?

Thanks for sharing! I've been wanting to make some lithophanes and this looks like a good alternative.

Hi! Tnx for your video, very helpful! Just one question about the printer. Should it be a black and white laser printer? Someone told me that a colour laserprinter would not work (as the colour black is than made up of a mix of the different colour toners/cartridges)...

Amazing!!!!❤️‍🔥 Can i use coated paper instead of pronto? Thank you💕

Hello 👋🏼 I don't know how I missed this one, but I'm so happy to have found it now!! 💗 QUESTION: Do you think any synthetic paper could work, ie YUPO ? Or just that brand specifically? - is the brand you used "reusable" ? I'm seeing polyester papers or plates saying they can be used hundreds of times... so I'm not sure if I've found the right stuff 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I appreciate you, your insight and your creativity. 🎨 Art'On 🎨 ~Ange~

Thanks for share. I didn t understad the mane of paper you use. I made this is past with some paper call fired on, but you have to use just a canon ou hp printer becausecthey have iron oxide in tonner....but now is dificult because many priters stop to use iron oxide in tonner.

If I may ask, what kind of glaze do you use? Thanks so much for the tutorial 💕

I am so glad I found you. You have great shares. Lots of helpful information. How did you glaze that beautiful box? Very colourful. Love it. Thanks for sharing🥰

Wouldn't dipping the glaze also work better? I love this idea

I have read that it's sort of vital to pour or spray your glaze on after the bisque. I have not tried this process yet so I'm only suggesting info I read about it.

Hi if you put a tiny amount of borax frit to the stain when up make up the ink, it will melt the stain in the firing and either stop it from smudging or making less fragile depending on the amount of frit, to much frit will melt it too much and make the image blurry! If you can't get the paper to print on normal printing paper and coat the back of the paper with shellac and hang it up to dry before starting the printing process works!

Wonderfully!

Can you use Manganese dioxide instead for this process? It is a lot cheaper than black Mason Stain

Brilliant!

Thanks so much so appreciate this info

Thanks for your nice sharing and really awesome !!! May I know any shop you suggest to buy this pronto plate paper in UK ?

Brilliant tutorial. Wondering if I could use teak oil instead of linseed oil ? Thanks

Hello, thanks for this interesting video It´s a new technique for me Sorry my english I´m spanish speaker See you soon, bye

Have you attempted to use a glaze mix or add some frit to the stain mix? Something to make it more stable on the bisque ware?

Thank you so much for taking the time to create and share this excellent video! If you have a moment... in your experience do you think it would be possible to successfully transfer an image that is 91 centimeters by 71 centimeters??

Have you ever considered narrating a meditation track or blog or what not? Your voice would be so perfect!

Amasing!! Please ad to the description box the names of the materials you used. For years I was wandering who to transfer a printed imag to the clay!!!

Thanks for sharing this! I wonder if you can make a mug out of the clay plate after you transfer the image?

THANKYOU

Brilliant! Thank yo so much :o)

Wonderful video! Now could you do one where you assemble the transfer so that we see how to deal with the difficulties.

Can ths method of image transfer be achieved using a laser copy on a regular sheet of printer paper rather than a Pronto plate? And are the Pronto plates reuseable or discarded after one use? sheet of printer paper

I'm french. Wich "stain" do you use, copper oxyde, black iron, or anything else like underglazes ?

i love you

Might I use boiled linseed oil in lieu of raw linseed oil?

Are you able to use the pronto plate again?

What happens to the print when fired in the kiln ?

Wow, no gum arabic needed!

If you add the bentonite first the mixing will be easier. It's amazing but my goodness it's such a long process 😮

Where do you get supply of photo paper

👏👏👏👏👏

Anyone heard of mixing gum Arabic to the solution to stabilize the image

Where can I buy pronto plates?
