This is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques with us. I've made silk screens for t-shirts many times and I can't wait to try this in my pottery studio 😊
That is so smart. I have my screen printing setup so I’ve been trying to make underglaze transfers but your way makes it so much simpler! Definitely going to try this method out!
Thank you so much for making this video!
Duuuuude. You just saved me a ton of work on all my custom stuff. 👏👏👏
Thank you for this video!! I want to make items using ATLA for friends and was planning on making my own stamps but I like this option more!
So informative,super helpful as always! Thank you!!
I just found your channel. You are absolutely hilarious and very good at explaining things. You said crispier! hahahaha
Amazing video, thanks so much! I started using the stamp technique but I'm running into all the problems you mentioned especially the time sensitive issue. I need to try this now.
I love that show too!!
Love the silk screen idea too!! Thanks
please make all examples things from Avatar from now on. Mesmerizing :)
Bless you and this glorious content. I now dub thee...Dontalomphagus.
Love it. Will stencils work the same way kind of?
Thank you for sharing as always much appreciate it God Bless
After you silkscreen on bisque, when and how do you glaze the rest of the cup without blurring the image? Thanks
you rock! thank you so much
Is there some kind of adhesive you could apply to the silk screen to stop it from moving?
Thank you for making the video. Where can I order the silk screens for pottery?
If you're using the same design on several mugs, how often can you apply the same screen before needing to put it in the rinse bucket?
Have you ever made your own silk screens? I would love to see that process too. Great video!
I haven't. I usually just order them from Etsy.
Yuuuss I do like.
Hey you know this paper that you use for the designing the cups, can you make them yourself with special different designs or do you have to buy them? Have you ever made some yourself ?
I used a Mayco silkscreen for the first time a couple weeks ago, I have a friend that likes lizards. Then water colored other underglazes in the negative spaces. It was totally cool.
Thanks for the great demo. Question: do you know the thread count of your screens? Is the mesh coarse with large holes, or is it fine, where you can barely see the mesh? Thank you!
I do not know the thread count but if you follow the Etsy link down in the description below and ask the person who made them I'm sure she would tell you. I do know that you can barely see through the mesh though
Have you tried using a flexible rubber rib to push the glaze trough the design instead of your finger? I'm wondering since in screenprinting you normally use a squeegee and a rubber rib can easily act like one and I'm thinking it might result in a cleaner print.
I haven't tried that yet but I thought about it. If you try it out let me know if you have any luck
Love this technique! Was thinking though, aren't these Avatar Airbender symbols copyrighted/trademarked?
Will my amaco velvet underglaze work?
I am in Australia and would love to know where i can get the silk screen images made up from?
Great video. I've been wanting to try this. I see in the comments you get the silk screens off etsy. Would you be willing to share which store on etsy? Thanks.
Yes. I put her information in the description down below with all the other links.
First second in the video and instantly knowing what to do today
You are always funny
Like before watching the vid 😂❤

are additives like CMC gum and brushing medium similar to the silk screen additive you're using here?
No. The closest thing so this silk screen that I have used is corn starch
Thanks
PAINTERS TIP! Never use the business end of paint brush to mix your media. It can seriously mess up your bristles killing your brush.
(See what I did there, I used your thing back on you to make a point. Get it? You get it.)
Great video very helpful. My instructor said that you kind of need to use them on the leather stage so that they stick down but it's good to know that I can hold it if it's small enough. I just had a custom one made and I haven't used it yet cuz I don't have any appropriately sized surfaces. Have you ever tried using something like a rubber stamp that you've coded with underglace with like a brayer or something to stamp a design on?
For non flat surfaces, are the silk screen designs Thin enough to allow you to spray through the design with a spray gun or air brush?
Kinda, the main reason that we use silk screen medium is too thick in the glaze so it doesn't leak through the design.
If you spray you would have to very lightly put multiple coats... Like...6
And when I tried brushing I couldn't push the brush down hard enough to go through the silk screen.
This seems to be the easiest method for me
Is the silk screen medium supposed to be raised lines? If not, how is it different than stencils?
I know these silkscreen medium does not need to be raised lines, you just mix it in with the underglaze or glaze of your choice and it makes it thicker so it can push through the screen without leaking.
I also have stencils of some of these symbols of showing you in today's video the underglaze usually pushes out of the sides of the stencil and stencils are usually made of some plastic material that are much more difficult to do this technique with.
TLDR I've tried to do it with stencils and silk screens are easier
Using colored slip? On green ware or bisque….?
Can you layer prints, each one a different color?
I'm sure you can although I've never tried. Underglaze is very stable
Do you only glaze these with clear after?
No, you can go use it with any glaze but the darker the glaze the more difficult it will be to see the black underglaze
Which is this paper
could you silkscreen with wax to have the symbol raw?
if I could find a way to reliably push the wack through the symbol then I would put underglaze works a little better because I can wipe underglaze off and try multiple times if I need to.
Wax resist would probably be a little harder
Shouldnt the silkscreen be matt side down making better contact?
The maker of the silk screen said to put shiny side down. It's been working for me 🤷♂️
Ain't broke. Don't fix it .
ATLA reference 💕
Yeah but does it work with an airbrush or atomizer?
No and no. The entire point of making the underglaze thick is that it pushes through the image.
If it's too thin at all it'll just bleed.
I tried about 10 different ways to make it easier but it doesn't really work without a thick enough glaze or underglaze
I’ve never silk-screened before. Can you wash off the screen and reuse it over and over?
Yes. They are multi use
Have you ever used tried to use Perl XS powder in your Clay? CU's I have. What are. I have pearl ex powders. And brown Clay and I want to see if you could test before I even try it, paying perfect powder in my. In my play. Firing it.
Sir, you keep calling underglaze glaze
Yeah. by the point that we had established that were working with underglaze I was kind of hoping everyone would understand that that's what we're working with in the video.
Hopefully everyone understands the context
