Transfer printing on clay with Sibylle Ritter

In this workshop, we will explore the technique of transfer printing on clay - a creative method that can be used to transfer ornaments, patterns, texts and images onto ceramic surfaces. Laser copies are used as a carrier material, which are printed onto clay, porcelain or engobes using color bodies or oxides. The result is not an exact reproduction, but a lively, individual, unique piece.
Sibylle Ritter provides a step-by-step introduction to the process, showing the materials required and various application options - from flat plates to smooth-walled vessels. We create simple clay slabs and plates and experiment with our own motifs or choose from a large collection of patterns and ornaments. This creates personal surfaces that gain depth and expression through the handcrafted process.

What you can expect:
- Introduction to the technique of transfer printing with laser copies
- Designing ceramic surfaces with ornaments, images and texts
- Application on clay plates or smooth vessels
- Working with color bodies and oxides
