Transfer Sample Pack (please read before you purchase)
- An assortment pack of at least 9 pieces in various sizes small to large (Please note about half are smaller pieces and 1/4 medium you will only get 1-3 larger pieces, see photos!)
- Sizes will range from 2" X 2" to 8" X 4"
- You will receive a selection of blue, green, red, and black designs
- No duplicate patterns (unless they are different colors or small designs and I included more then 9 total designs)
- Sample pieces are cut from our larger sheets and designs may be cut off, edges might have blank paper, and some may not be cut straight.
- Packs are made and selected at random and may include seasonal designs, new releases that are not yet for sale, designs we are testing out, or older styles we no longer stock in full sheets.
- You may not pick or choose your sample pack designs and if ordering more then one pack you are not guaranteed to receive different designs.
- This is a great way to get familiar with using transfers and see a range or the colors and patterns. It is also great for jewelers or folks using smaller sections to get more patterns without buying whole sheets.

🔥 Underglaze Transfers
Our underglaze transfers are lead-free, food-safe, and screen printed on rice paper - perfect for greenware or bisqueware. They fire up to cone 10. For best results, use a zinc-free clear glaze.
Application on a wet clay slab:
- Apply the Transfer: Lay the transfer face-down on your clay. Use a well-wrung sponge to gently press from the center outward.
- The design will darken slightly as it adheres.
- Check and Adjust: Slowly peel a corner to check for full transfer.
- Press again with a sponge or finger if needed.
- Remove and Dry: When satisfied with transfers, remove paper, and allow transfer and clay to dry fully.
These can also be applied to leather hard or bisque.
🔥 Kiln Fired Overglaze Decals
Water slide overglaze decals are food safe and lead free. They should be applied after your ceramic piece has been glaze fired and they work best over a white or light-colored glaze as they are semitransparent.
- Clean the Surface: Wipe surface with rubbing alcohol.
- Pre-warm China: Soak in hot water (115–125°F) for a few minutes. Leave surface wet for easier decal manipulation.
- Prep the Decal: Trim design keeping mind there will be a faint raised line where your cut lines are. Soak decal in a bowl of warm water until the backing becomes movable (about 3 -5 seconds).
- Apply the Decal: Carefully slide the decal onto the wet piece being careful not to touch the back where the adhesive is. Slide the decal into position and gently smooth from the center out to remove air and water bubbles.
- Dry Thoroughly: Let dry completely (6+ hours or overnight).
- Fire: Once fully dry, fire at cone 012 on slow.
