This is the best videos and one of the most successful outcomes I have seen on mono printing on Clay ! You are so great at explaining in detail how to do this process. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the future ❤️
Thank you so much for watching, commenting and subscribing! ♥️ If you try this, point me in a direction where I can see your results! It such a satisfying way to decorate a vessel. ✨✨
This is a very well made video demonstration. Your clear instructions about how you apply your techniques is appreciated .. also the time taken to make a very concise tutorial is also just great .. thank you for taking the time to make this video and share your knowledge. I enjoyed it very much and it will inform my ceramic journey..
Thank you!! 🧡 My life had taken a similar turn (family and job) which became a long break from clay - and it felt so good to get back to it! Wishing you many muddy days ahead✨✨🤓
I translated your question as, Why don't you paint directly onto the clay? I actually talk about that (and shared side-by-side photos to show the difference) in a blog post I wrote that went with this video, which can be found: rebeccagerendasy.com/blog/how-to-make-mono-print-for-ceramics-video Essentially, though, it comes down to the final look…I really like the resulting texture caused by the transfer technique, which isn't doesn't happen when you paint directly onto the clay. Now there are other ways to distress the painted slab to make it more interesting, but I'll save that for a future video. =)
This is exactly how I hand-build my bowls. Trying mono printing next as I have a vast collection of block print designs. I scanned and vectorized them to use for projects just like this. Excellent presentation.
At the end you said you fire it then add a clear glaze and it's done. I thought this had to be bisque fired first then add clear glaze then glaze fire. Did I miss something? Thank you for the video, I'm going to try this!
Yes, that's the correct order: the first firing is the bisque firing ("I fire it"), which I fire at cone 04. The second firing ("I put a clear glaze on it") is the final glaze firing, which I fire at cone 05. You didn't miss anything as I didn't provide firing details. Glad you asked, tho. =) Have fun with the technique!
Thank You so much! I can’t wait to try this technique!!! Do you put clear glaze after bisque? Or hand paint a different color on the outside? You’re really clever and a great artist and teacher!!!
You did not mention the medium you used to paint the picture for the monoprint. Was it underglaze or glaze? It looks very thick. Also - what brand did you use?
I use Amaco's Velvet underglazes. For the ones that are very thick I often water them down a bit in small amounts so that they will go on smoother. I'll put a dab onto a non-porous surface, add a few drops of water, blend, then paint. [ I mentioned using underglazes prior to actually applying colors to the design; I'll verbally emphasize that more in future videos - thanks =) ]
I use the darker brown for more depth. The terracotta clay, after its final firing, will be red brown in color so the chocolate brown underglaze color I use acts as just another layer of color in the undergrowth of the spring flowers. At least that is my intent! 🤓
Hi Rebecca! Thank you for all your hard work and efforts. The way you explained in detail is so helpful in understanding the process of layering the underglazes to earthenware (clay that has not been fired in a kiln). I would appreciate knowing where you got the tool to cut out the foot.
I have found cheap glass filigrana at the craft store, from frameworks, come 104. I think that filigrana could be used this way so the colors are already encased in clear. Hmm
I keep trying but I run into several technical difficulties. Patches of glaze is left on the paper so there are big holes in the thing I've been painting. What am I doing wrong?!
Thank you so much for posting. I enjoyed watching it very much. I have to try this very soon. May I ask where did you get your color shaper and what size is it?
It is a red “shape 3 polymer rib” made by Mudtools. It’s one of my most favorite (and used) rib. I bought it at my local ceramics store (Georgies); try one near you or online. Thanks for watching and wishing you much success!
Thank you so much for your detailed and comprehensive instructions on this absolutely fascinating technique! Your results are fantastic! I wonder if it is possible to let the "printing paper" dry completely to use it on a later day? Surely it would then have to be moistened again on both sides? Many greetings!
Yes, you can totally do that. In fact I have two in-process that I need to finish soon. Make sure your clay slab is still damp (enough moisture that it is still flexible) before you place your finished print, and spray the paper side (as I did in the video) as you press it onto the slab - but not too much water because you don’t want to tear your print! The moisture (from clay slab and spritzed on newsprint) will help release the underglazes from the paper itself as you rub/press. Let me know how it goes for you - and thank you!
@@bixnash1 thank you! Newsprint that has been printed on (like a newspaper) is very thin indeed and won’t take much abuse. I prefer using newsprint from a pad (found in most art supply stores or online). It is a bit heavier and has a good tooth, which holds the underglazes well. My concern with parchment paper would be it wouldn’t hold the glaze well( would easily flake off) and the step when I spritz the backside with water to help release the design just before transferring onto a slab of clay wouldn’t work at all. You could experiment, but those are two possibilities that might keep it from being a successful transfer. If you try it, let me know your results!
I used Amaco's Velvet Underglazes - really easy to work with and they can be found in most ceramic supply stores or online. I often blend colors together to come up with new ones. Thanks for watching!
That's one of the things I like about this technique - how bits of the underglaze doesn't transfer and shows the raw clay beneath. Kind of an aged look. If there are areas that aren't transferring that you want to transfer (this only works if you haven't removed the newsprint from the slab completely), dampen (using a spray bottle) the backside of the paper where the 'stuck' underglaze is, gently rub the area again with a soft rib, and slowly peel the paper away again to check if enough of the underglaze color transferred. Hopefully this helps.
Could one do a monoprint on fired bisque? If the bisque gets wetted prior to applying the glazed paper, that is. I suppose that would work best on flat pieces if it works at all.
I’ve never tried it on a bisque-fired piece, but can’t imagine it would have the same results, even if you dampened it first. I suggest testing it out on a small item and go from there. Something is bound to stick and it may be very interesting - or not. Let me know if you have any results; I may even try it myself!
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. Your work is lovely. Can you share a little about the design of your sample tiles for the colors? Do the numbers correspond to coats? Are there matte and shiny clear glazes on top? Much thanks.
I wrote a blog post and made an abbreviated video on the process of making the tiles this past summer and I think it will answer most of your questions. Here's a link to the blog post: rebeccagerendasy.com/blog/making-ceramic-test-tiles-underglaze-colors And a link to the video (which is also embedded in the blog post): ua-cam.com/video/szrJ-mR318E/v-deo.html Let me know if you have any further questions. =)
I made a short reel for my Instagram page that shows this in sped up fashion, but you get the idea. I use a cheese cutter. Here's a link to it: instagram.com/reel/CwVX9P7otSV/ And thanks!
Hello! I’m using underglazes, which I apply to newsprint, as a design, before transferring it onto a still wet clay slab (in a soft - like butter - leatherhard stage). I talk more about the different underglaze colors around 2:32. You can use slip instead of underglazes, adding mason stains to them to get the colors you like. Hope that helps!
I use Amaco's Velvet underglazes - sometimes straight out of the jar, I often blend colors too. At 3:56 you can see which I used for each flower. Medium blue petals with a black center, white petals with a deep yellow center, etc. But that's what I used here; I've gone on and changed some of them over time - always fun to experiment!
The results are different when you apply the underglaze directly on the clay. When you transfer from the newsprint, the surface has a unique texture to it because not all of the underglaze transfers over onto the clay surface. If you paint directly onto the clay surface, the colors are solid and flat looking. You can see the difference in a photo I share on my blog page that talks more about this process: rebeccagerendasy.com/how-to-make-a-mono-print-for-ceramics-video/ So it really depends what look you are going for!
Thank you! You could, but you might not know how well it transferred before firing and it would be harder to fix. Another thing is the burning off of the paper with the underglazes might cause a whole different effect than you had in mind with just a peeling away of the transfer/paper. It might be an interesting result though - something to be tried. If you do, let me know how it goes - I'm definitely curious!
Great video with clear explanations. I wish you would show the finished product after clear glaze and final firing at the end of the video as a reminder :) Thank you.
Thanks for your feedback! Hopefully you saw it at the start. I often put the finished product at the beginning so you see what you’re getting into, but I hear how it could be beneficial to see it again at the end. 🤓 Glad you liked the video - thanks!
Hello Mrs. Gerendasy, and thank you for the reply. I did in fact see it at the beginning which inspired me to watch the entire video. I learned a great deal and look forward to trying the technique myself. As you stated above, a reminder at the end would be satisfying :) @@RebeccaGerendasy
The brown is an underglaze - specifically Amaco's Velvet underglaze, Chocolate Brown. Hopefully I answered your question and you can get this translated, for je ne parle française.
Thank you! I’ve never tried it on bisque wares and I’m not sure it would adhere very well - or at least in the same manor as the transfer method - but you could try. I’d be curious of the results…now I’m thinking of trying it!
I use Amaco’s Velvet underglazes - sometimes straight out of the jar, I often blend colors too. At 3:56 you can see which color I used for each flower. After it is complete, and bone dry, I bisque fire it at cone 04.
I started taking pottery classes this year and found this video an inspiring key to how I can combine clay with my painting. Even before you began the tutorial, however, you won me over with the Walter Inglis Anderson poster! My favorite watercolorist ever since I saw an exhibit in DC years ago. It was fascinating to observe how his pottery roots influenced his the shape of his imagination when it came to 2D work. Now I have a whole new level of appreciation. Looking forward to viewing your other videos.
I love Anderson's work so much - and sadly he is still a relatively unknown artist! So glad you have started your clay journey and I hope you love it as much as I do. =)
I loved this video! Thank you so much for sharing….I have a question and hope you receive this and will answer. I am not a ceramic artist but have done glass fusing so am familiar with a kiln. My question: Is it possible to use this technique on already made UNGLAZED TERRA COTA TILES? I was given a large stash of these tiles and have been searching for a way to add designs to them. Wishing you well from Texas!
This technique would not work on unglazed bisque-fired terracotta tiles. A technique called cuerda-seca would work (I'm sure there are videos showing how it is done; I've done it myself, but don't have a video). Or you could do create a design using underglaze washes (water added to underglaze colors and applied in layers similar to watercolor painting). Look into those and see what other people are creating to determine if it's something you'd like to do. And thanks for watching. =)
I dont care about your stems being correct. Thank u for sharing. I LOVE mono printing & ur random design is ABSOLUTELY LOVELY! Gonna use ur technique for my nxt project😊
I'm a fan of sped-up process videos, but in some cases it's important to see things can take time, this technique being one. Hurrying it only leads to issues and smudges. Thanks so much for watching!!
Watching this makes me wish I had access to a kin/studio! But because the technique of front to back layering is the same as doing gel prints I'm going to try something similar printing on fabric. I'll have to work out the possible blending of colors and I'm not sure how much I can let them try before applying the next color but it will allow for some new creative play. Thank you for the inspiration
Your response brought me a big smile! I do something similar - seeing other peoples work and getting inspired how I can bring it into my own way of creating. Have fun with it and I'd love to see the results.
On this project, I’m using Amaco’s Velvet Underglazes. Some are straight out of the bottle, some are blended to give me a totally different color. And thanks for watching!
Hi, this is the second time I've watched your video. I absolutely love how you do it. I needed to reacquaint myself on the method as I'm about to give it a go.
Thank you so much for your generous offering of time and talent. I love monoprinting. I've been working on improving my technique and this video was very helpful. I learned that my clay may need to be more wet when the transfer is applied. Also, I may be removing the transfer too soon resulting in poor transfer. I will incorporate your tips. Your instructions were very clear and your patience is appreciated. Bless you!
Você é muito bondosa por ensinar , amei seu trabalho , gostaria muito de poder assistir suas aulas em português ( Brasil) consegue autorizar UA-cam para permitir a tradução ? Eu adoraria
I turned on the English subtitles, but it does not give me the option to create Portuguese (Brazil) subtitles. As I'm able to tell, someone has to do it manually. So sorry.

Wonderful can one do the transfers on a glass bowl instead of terracotta Christine
Christine, I do not work with glass so I'm unsure how they might work together, if at all. Perhaps someone else might know?
It would be lovely if you could show the finished pieces (after glaze and firing). They must look so pretty.

Can someone explain why we would paint it on the newspaper and transfer, rather than paint directly on the plate?
The results are different when you apply the underglaze directly on the clay. When you transfer from the newsprint, the surface has a unique texture to it because not all of the underglaze transfers over onto the clay surface. If you paint directly onto the clay surface, the colors are solid and flat looking.

Love love love it!!! If you left the paper attached would it not burn off?
Thank you! You could, but you might not know how well it transferred before firing and it would be harder to fix. Another thing is the burning off of the paper with the underglazes might cause a whole different effect than you had in mind with just a peeling away of the transfer/paper. It might be an interesting result though - something to be tried. If you do, let me know how it goes - I'm definitely curious!

Is it possible to use this technique on already made UNGLAZED TERRA COTA TILES? I was given a large stash of these tiles and have been searching for a way to add designs to them.
Wishing you well from Texas!
This technique would not work on unglazed bisque-fired terracotta tiles. A technique called cuerda-seca would work (I'm sure there are videos showing how it is done; I've done it myself, but don't have a video). Or you could do create a design using underglaze washes (water added to underglaze colors and applied in layers similar to watercolor painting). Look into those and see what other people are creating to determine if it's something you'd like to do. And thanks for watching. =)
This is sooooo helpful! I've learned so much about the technique, but also about color choices, composition, and how to plan well. Thank you!
Thanks - glad to be of help! =)
I dont care about your stems being correct. Thank u for sharing. I LOVE mono printing & ur random design is ABSOLUTELY LOVELY! Gonna use ur technique for my nxt project😊
Thanks so much! And yes, much to love about this process and the possibilities are vast!! Have fun with what you create. =)
Beautiful designs
Thanks so much! 🧡
Brilliant step by step of this process. THank you so much for sharing (in real time). Patience indeed~~~~~~ ^_________^
I'm a fan of sped-up process videos, but in some cases it's important to see things can take time, this technique being one. Hurrying it only leads to issues and smudges. Thanks so much for watching!!
Watching this makes me wish I had access to a kin/studio! But because the technique of front to back layering is the same as doing gel prints I'm going to try something similar printing on fabric. I'll have to work out the possible blending of colors and I'm not sure how much I can let them try before applying the next color but it will allow for some new creative play.
Thank you for the inspiration
Your response brought me a big smile! I do something similar - seeing other peoples work and getting inspired how I can bring it into my own way of creating. Have fun with it and I'd love to see the results.
I started making sketches as soon as I finished your terrific tutorial. Thanks!
Yay!! Happy creating. =)
beautiful thank you!
thanks for watching!
What underglazes are you using? Thanks!
On this project, I’m using Amaco’s Velvet Underglazes. Some are straight out of the bottle, some are blended to give me a totally different color. And thanks for watching!

Hi, this is the second time I've watched your video. I absolutely love how you do it. I needed to reacquaint myself on the method as I'm about to give it a go.
Aww, thank you! Once you get the steps down a lot of it is practice and maybe tweaking it a little. Let me know how it goes!
This was an awesome explanation to Mono printing process. I will dearly use it and thank you for posting it.
I'm so glad it was helpful - thanks for watching!

You are welcome 😊 Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for your generous offering of time and talent. I love monoprinting. I've been working on improving my technique and this video was very helpful. I learned that my clay may need to be more wet when the transfer is applied. Also, I may be removing the transfer too soon resulting in poor transfer. I will incorporate your tips. Your instructions were very clear and your patience is appreciated. Bless you!
Thank you! And I’m glad it was helpful. 🤓
I really enjoyed this. You made it seem so unintimidating. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! And I hope you have a chance to try it out yourself one day. =)

Você é muito bondosa por ensinar , amei seu trabalho , gostaria muito de poder assistir suas aulas em português ( Brasil) consegue autorizar UA-cam para permitir a tradução ? Eu adoraria
I turned on the English subtitles, but it does not give me the option to create Portuguese (Brazil) subtitles. As I'm able to tell, someone has to do it manually. So sorry.
Thank you for sharing your skill…you are the first to inspire me to try mono printing…you have demonstrated amazing success with excellent teaching skill…thank you for sharing both your talent and time it is very appreciated
Thank you!! I really do hope you try it. Such fun results and each peel back of the mono-printed paper is like opening a present - magical! ✨
