Newsprint Transfers
Please note that we ship twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.
NEWSPRINT TRANSFERS are screen-printed by hand using commercial grade underglazes. Newsprint Paper acts as a great vehicle for transferring the image off of the paper and onto LEATHER HARD clay. Because we screen-print our transfers colors are more widely available per pattern.
We recommend using slips to assist with the transfer process. Refer to our How-To sections for instruction and check out the book Graphic Clay by Jason Bige Burnett.
ENVELOPE COLLECTION / SECRETO
ENVELOPE COLLECTION / SECRETO
Ceramic underglaze transfer, screen-printed by hand on newsprint in our North Carolina studio. Images reflect pattern color after firing. Recommended firing temperature from cone 04-6 for best results. While there are a few colors that can hold up at higher temps (Jet Black has good success) we always recommend testing with your specific firing techniques if you wish to use them above cone 6.
transfer image dimensions: 15"x 10"
paper dimensions: 18"x 11.5"
ABOUT THE COLLECTION
Inspired by domestic patterns our Envelope Series showcases a select few of the patterns we might see daily and have become familiar with. The patterns are typically tiny (see photo), once enlarged there is a beautiful rhythm and cadence of energy through the design elements. Wether its a pattern of stripes in rows, or paired lines this newsprint collection can add a welcomed approach to surface offering edginess or elagance.
Our collection consists of four color options often found on the interiors of security envelopes. These patterns can still be printed in any of our other 8 color offerings. Please refer to Available Colors on our Custom Design page.
