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.

Beautiful designed underglaze transfer! Really excited to use them. These are quality prints at a larger size than I have been using, so no more patching short pieces. Will be ordering more! Smart, sturdy packaging. All arrived perfect shape.

Brilliant! Quick delivery. Delivered to my friend in Aus within 2 days and she bought them over to the UK for me. I will order direct next time now I can see they are good quality.

This was my first time ordering and using underglaze transfers from Japan Crafts. My transfers arrived quickly considering how far they had to travel. I absolutely love the colors of these designs and they transfer so easily to green or bisque ware. The underglaze is thick and vibrant, so it is super easy to transfer them with minimal effort. I can’t wait to order again for larger sheets and new designs!
Glyns, Perth, Western Australia –
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.
