Applying transfers to Clay

A few things to know before you start...
- apply transfers only to bisque fired clay (not raw clay or glazed clay)
- use a sponge to wet the clay slightly first
- apply the transfer with the pattern side face down
- dab gently over with a damp sponge (do NOT rub)
- carefully peel off the backing paper
- usually it is easier to use small pieces of transfer paper to cover an area rather than one large piece

***Thanks to Ann Murray for all of her fabulous advice!***

    1. Hi Emily, the transfers appeared to be made of paper and in Australia you can buy them from Jacksons Art Supplies or most ceramic supply outlets. I'm afraid that's all the info I can give you as I have only limited experience in using them so far :-)
