Whether it’s a black-and-white sketch, color drawing or hand-written recipe, it can be transferred onto pottery.

Preparing your original art: we HIGHLY recommend you make a color copy of the original artwork and bring THE COPY into the studio. You do NOT need the original to create an art transfer.

The process of transferring the artwork to a piece of pottery takes just a few steps:

1. Place the carbon paper under the copy of your design (do not use the original), making sure the carbon side is facing down
2. Place the design/caron paper on your pottery. To prevent your design from shifting or moving while you trace, you can tape down the design (still hold it firmly while you trace)
3. Using a blue or red ball point pen, firmly trace over the lines of your design. You do not need to “fill in” colored or shaded areas
4. When you have traced over the entire design, lift the two pieces of paper to reveal purple-ish lines on your pottery (the carbon).
5. Just like a coloring book, paint your design! The carbon lines burn away, so need to worry about “staying in the lines”

The project time frame and cost will depend on the size of your piece and the amount of detail.

What will you create?! Think gifts, anniversaries and keepsakes. Have fun with it!
