DECALS, OVERGLAZES and LUSTERS and SILK-SCREEN PRINTING MADE EASY with Rimas
VisGirda
March 22-26, 2010
Learn to put images on silk screens using the photosensitive direct emulsion
process and make ceramic decals. Decals may be applied and fired onto ceramics
as well as enameled metal and glass. Decals may also be applied to any smooth
surface as a decorative element. The same basic silk screen techniques can be
used for printing patterns onto fabrics, such as logos and designs onto
t-shirts. Topics will include printing directly onto fired as well as unfired
clay. Discussion and demonstration subjects include multi color printing, color
separation, applications to high fire processes and hand coloring B&W decals
with overglazes and lusters. The course is designed to be low-tech and uses no
sophisticated apparatus allowing the participant to continue screening images at
home or studio. Participants will create their own decals and receive a screen
and squeegee for later use at their leisure. Ceramic experience is not required.
Space is limited. On site camping available. Contact Billy Ray Mangham, Director
