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.

First time ordering ceramic tissue transfers after an online recommendation. The range is excellent, my transfers arrived within a few days of ordering, and I’m quickly getting the hang of getting the most out of the different designs. I’m already planning my next purchase.

What a fantastic company to order from! Not only are their products fantastic but their customer service is second to none. Kept updated throughout with stages of delivery. Was a bit dubious at first about ordering from Australia but will definitely be ordering again!!! Thank you so much!

Loved my first order of pottery tissue transfers, so have reordered and am currently waiting for arrival. Shipping is a bit of a wait, but that is not the fault of Japan Crafts. Was a small learning curve but not difficult. Transfers are colorful and so fun to use. Have recommended to others.

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!

The underglaze transfers from Japan Crafts are both beautiful and unique. I especially love the Geisha and the Colour Garden underglaze transfer patterns. I’m constantly sending people to the Japan Crafts website when they comment on how extraordinarily beautiful the Colour Garden transfer is and when they bombard me with questions on where to order this design. I work in porcelain which provides the perfect background for these awe inspiring transfers. Another loyal, repeat customer. ☺️

Gorgeous transfers. They were so easy to apply to greenware. I will order again and split the postage with friends to the United States. I want to try all the transfers. Fast service.
