Decals – transfers

A decal or transfer is an image drawn or printed with ceramic pigments on a specially treated substrate.

Forever learning.

You can use a decal to transfer an image to a ceramic object.

You can either make your own decals or buy them ready-made in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes. This allows you to embellish your work with specific drawings, motifs and images. You can cut, modify, colour and combine the decals however you like. Is this something for you?
