Either side of the Graffito Paper transfers the underglaze, but most of the tests shown were done with the darker side laid against the piece as it seemed more saturated with the color. Without leaving residue or damaging your paper pattern (figure 1). Attach the Graffito Paper to the back of your pattern or image using painters tape, which adheres well and is also is easier to remove
WHICH SIDE OF CARBON PAPER DO I USE REGISTRATION
Once you have a pattern selected, cut it to size, and make registration marks on it that extend to the edge of the paper. Experiment with cutting plain paper to fit yourįorms first before trimming your image and the Graffito Paper to size. Like applying any other paper pattern to aĬlay vessel, there are limits to the flexibility and coverage over a round surface, so, depending on your form, it may be necessary to trim or dart the Graffito Paper or apply the pattern in sections. The sheets are flexible, and can be used on curved surfaces as well as flat tiles or plates. The underglaze mixture applied to the sheets also contains wax, which helps bind it to the paper and to bisqueware. The rose color can only be fired to cone 06 as it burns out at higher temperatures. All of the colors except rose have a firing range of cone 06–8. It’s essentially a 9-inch square paper substrate embedded with one of six underglaze colors: black, green, blue, teal, brown, and Graffito Paper, which is made by Minnesota Clay Company, is the clay world equivalent of carbon paper, and can be used to transfer patterns, photocopies, or drawings to bisque ware using underglaze as ink. If you’ve ever wanted to transfer designs or trace patterns onto a surface, help is here. Our own Jessica Knapp tested out this cool new tool in our "Ceramic Test Kitchen." In this post, she shares her results for underglaze transfer paper. Graffito Paper, as it's called, is kind of like the clay world's equivalent to carbon paper.īasically, you lay the Graffito Paper onto your piece and trace any design you want over it. There's a nifty commercial product out now, which acts kind of like a rice paper decal, only you can customize the image.
