Re: applying images to ceramics
Rosae,
There is a type of transfer material that can be bought from Maryland China
Co., in Reisterstown, MD that allows you to take a photo and color laser copy
it to this transfer sheet that can be applied to ceramics and fired. People use
it for making essentially decals for mugs etc. but it could be used for a fine
art project. This might be of interest to you.
