This one-day, hands-on beginners workshop, Jennifer Turnbull will cover how to transfer images onto clay using a lithography transfer printing technique.

Participants will be guided through transferring a photocopied image onto a clay surface, which then can be fired, with or without glaze. This technique can be used on coloured slip, leather hard clay, either tiles or vertical surfaces, or on soft clay which can then be manipulated and shaped.

Attendees are required to bring a selection of photocopied images of varying sizes (with a white edge around the image). Images on paper must be the result of a photocopy with toner, not bubble jet (home) printer. The properties of the photocopy ink are essential to the success of this process. Line drawings, strong black and white contrast photos will work the best. If possible, please make several copies of each image, as back-ups. Images featuring words will need to be reversed using image editing software before they are printed and photocopied.
