Technique Pieces: Photo Transfers

The transfer pieces in this section represent a new development in my work in which printed images, using a special decal paper, are applied to an already-fired glazed surface.  From start to finish, the production of each piece is labor intensive, beginning with the hand-building itself, followed by bisque-firing the piece, followed by application of the glaze, and a 2nd firing.  Images are then selected from a large database of photographs that I’ve taken from my meanderings in NY, Amsterdam, Vermont, many places.  I especially seek out graphic patterns from old metal staircases and gates, ancient statuary, and graffiti/street art.   The images are then printed on the decal paper via a laser printer and applied to the vessel using a “water slide process”  — meaning the decals are soaked in water and the image is slid off onto the glazed surface.  On many of the vessels I applied the images in an overlapping manner, creating a narrative collage that conveys a theme, an event, or memorializes an historic epoch. The piece is then low-fired a 3rd time; depending on the outcome, I might then apply porcelain paint “accents” by brush to portions of the image, followed by a 4th firing in the ol’ home oven to “set” the paint.  (For more information about the transfer process, see resources and publication section.)
