Product Description

The first comprehensive how-to book on the topic! Contemporary ceramists have adapted traditional printmaking procedures to transfer images onto clay surfaces. And, with this thorough resource, anyone can take advantage of these techniques in their own home studio—even those with no printmaking background. The simple processes don’t require fancy equipment. Use silk-screen decals with light-sensitive emulsions to create a master image: then cover with glazes, and voilá! Use colored slips for unique monoprints. Work with stencils, relief blocks, or stamps, trying a variety of materials to mark the clay surface. Each method is carefully laid out in numerous photos, and shown on a finished piece. More than 100 images by leading contemporary artists showcase the techniques and provide a wealth of inspiration.

Excellent5
I bought this book as a gift for a friend who has always wanted to learn more about printing on clay. I already had Alternative Firing Techniques by Paul Andrew Wandless and it is one of my favourites so I was confident this would follow in the same vein. I was more than pleased with the book when it arrived that I have added it to my list of next to get for myself. My friend was thrilled with the book and the easy to understand methods shown in excellent photographic form. I know it will be of great inspiration to her and prove a valuable reference for many years to come.

Something New5
With twenty years of ceramic work and countless hours of reading, it was delightful to find a book with something new. There are wonderful possibilities to explore, thanks to the inspiration provided in this step-by-step guide. The photographs make it easy to understand and the finished products are representative of what actually turns out. Even a beginner could be proud of the results. I strongly encourage the painterly to pick up this guide. My slab trays have turned out beautifully and they have that printmaking quality that gives them a fine art finish.

cLEAR AND CONCISE5
Of the few books I have found representing this form of decoration I found this publication very well laid out, illustrated and explained. The text was relatively simple and very easily understood. A must have for anyone interested in all forms of image work.
