How does it Work?
Ceramic transfer papers are easy to apply on both flat and curved surfaces and create instant decorating effects with little effort. It’s as simple as applying a child’s tattoo. All you need to do is dampen the back of the transfer paper and press print side down on the surface you are working on. Leave for a few minutes before peeling off the paper to reveal the pattern. Once dry any additional embellishing can be done. If applying a clear glaze, take care by gently dabbing the first coat of glaze over the transfer pattern. Subsequent coats can be brushed on.

All our transfers are Japanese made, accounting for their high strength and excellent adhering properties onto raw clay, leather hard, greenware and bisque. They can be applied over painted or unpainted surfaces and finished with clear or transparent glazes and kiln fired to a broad range of temperatures from Cone 05-10. However, we recommend testing with your own glazes and kiln conditions. Please note firing will cause a slight colour change to the transfer pattern, so if matching colours, it is advisable to do a small test piece first.

Great products! Fast delivery and great selection. I use a lot of tissue transfers in my work and am always on the lookout for new images. Japan Crafts often have new products to try out. I also love the little sample pack of new products I get with my purchase, thank you.

The transfer sheets arrived very promptly. The packaging kept them in excellent condition and the documentation was clear and helpful. I appreciated the generous number of free sample pieces and have passed some of them on to my friend to consider for her project.

I purchased several ceramic underglaze transfers and I’m incredibly impressed with the fast shipping, the quality, and ease of use. I used them in bisque and I even used all of the small sample pieces (to try out) and they are all fantastic.
