Screen Printing On Ceramics

Screen printing on ceramics is a fun way to get patterns and designs on your clay. 

what you will need is:

Mod Podge

Embroidery hoop

Fine Fabric Mesh

Paint Bruch

White Clay

And 

Red Clay for a Under Glaze 

Put your fabric mesh in the embroidery hoop. Draw your designs on the mesh then where you don't want the color to show paint it with the Mod Podge. Let it dry all the way.  

Red Clay for under glaze you need to make it in to a nice slip.

Roll out your clay into a big slab. 

Then place your embroidery hoop face down on the clay. 

Get your red slip and paint the back on the mesh. don't use to much.  

Repeat the pattern

Let the clay sit for a short time so the red under glaze has a chance to somewhat dry.

under glaze design for pottery

A great way to get a under glaze design. 

I took some old dry red clay and made it into a slip. 

Then with my bone dry (not fired) plates I painted the red slip on to it.

After it drys you then can start lightly carving into the red under glass showing the white underneath.

Be careful it is fragile to work with.

  

Working in the ceramic studio

Working in the ceramic studio. Made 10 plates, I hope they all work out!

In the studio

So I had some molds in the studio and I wanted to see if I could use them. I made some slip and started poring my slip into the molds. Needless to say it did not work out. Haha Some days are like that.
