I make earthernware pottery from local clay fired to cone 04. I want to
generate patterns by computer and print them on transparencies to use
for contact printing onto my plates and bowls. Plan is to bisque fire
the ware first with a white slip surface, then apply sensitized colloid
emulsion containing colouring oxide and print the picture on this, then
refire under transparent glaze. Does anyone know if there is a kit
specially made and available in N. America for this sort of thing, or
can you just use the regular stuff that silkscreen shops sell? I cant
wait for Mr Nadeau's book and want to get started right away. GeorgePoe
