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.

Its always a pleasure ordering from Japan Crafts. As a ceramic artist, whenever I choose to decorate any of my pieces, I check my options. One of my best is Japan Crafts. I use the Underglaze Transfers, and they are always in the most interesting patterns and colorations. I use them on my greenware and after coming out of the bisque kiln firing, I am so pleased with the results. Then, another firing at cone 6 with a clear gloss coat and the piece or pieces look so professional in appearance. Thank You Japan Crafts and keep on designing those interesting Underglazes!!
