How to Make a Mono-Print for Ceramics
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2024
- A unique way to create a surface design in ceramics is to make a mono-print, with underglazes. I will take you through the steps on considering colors, prepping the clay, applying the different layers of underglazes, transferring the image onto a slab, turning a flat painted slab into a bowl, and etching in details using a technique called sgraffito. The result is a functional ceramic bowl full of depth, color, and an original design.

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. ✨✨
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. =)
What a joy to watch this. I haven't touched clay in too many years (kids and jobs) but you have inspired me to get started again.
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✨✨🤓
You are very generous with your knowledge . Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words, and 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 just found you. The best monoprinting video I have seen yet! Thank you so much!

gracias por compartir esa técnica tan bonita, el plato quedó precioso. Un saludo
Gracias! 🧡✨🙏
I loved watching, this and was on the edge of my seat as you peeled back the paper to reveal the transfer. As a fellow lover of color this bowl just made my heart happy.
Thanks for watching Krista! The peel/reveal is my favorite part!! Almost like opening a package, and seeing what you got. And yes 🙌 to color!!! ✨🎨✨
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!
Beautiful beautiful thank
You so much
Thank you for watching! 🧡
beautiful thank you!
thanks for watching!
👍Love it!
Thank you! 🧡
Tip - glue a wood block or disk under the hump mold to provide a stable elevated base. Excellent detailed video. Thank you.
Nice idea - thanks!
Very interesting 👍🏼
Thanks!
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.
Lovely inspirtion
Thanks so much!
Wow... !!! My best friend, It's always great. I wish you every day of your development. Have a happy day!
Thank you!
you are welcome! and thanks for watching. =)
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!!
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. =)
This was lit
Thanks!
excellant
Thank you!
It’s perfect and beautiful ! Thank you so much !
My pleasure - and thank you!!
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.
Thanks so much!! The tool is appropriately called a 'foot maker' and is sold/made by GR Pottery Forms. Great tool to have!
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!
It would be lovely if you could show the finished pieces (after glaze and firing). They must look so pretty.
I did! You can see the finished bowl (and a platter) in the beginning intro at :18 - I really liked the end results. Thanks for watching!
@@RebeccaGerendasy I missed that frame so I'm going back to look. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous art!
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. =)
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!!!
Yes, I applied a clear gloss glaze after bisque and fired it once more. And thank you so much!!
What a great video!!! Could you do a video about your glazed disks? That would be great!!! ❤️
Thank you!!🧡 I know you discovered the video on your own, but I thought I’d leave a link to the complete explanation in case anyone else might like to know…it’s rebeccagerendasy.com/blog/making-ceramic-test-tiles-underglaze-colors I hope it is helpful! 😊
@@RebeccaGerendasy I’m really excited to get started on both the glaze samples and the monoprinting. 😁❤️
@@melimoo6656 Excellent - have fun!
Can you do this with regular glaze or just with underglaze? This is fascinating and beautiful ... Thank you so much!
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
Lovely demo. I would have liked to see how you cut off the excess clay around the lip of the bowl.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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): ruclips.net/video/szrJ-mR318E/видео.html Let me know if you have any further questions. =)
@@RebeccaGerendasy Thank you, thank you, thank you : )
Very informative. Thank you for a detailed video on printing the glazes. I was so much waiting till the end to see the finally cured bowl. How did it come out eventually?
The finished bowl can be seen in the beginning intro at :18 - actually I show a platter and two bowls - and I really liked the end results. Thank you for watching!
@@RebeccaGerendasy wow! Thanks again. Yes, the end result is AMAZING! ❤ Nice work!
@@restlessrat Thank you!!
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 am curious as to why you use dark brown as a final coat since your plate is already brown?
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! 🤓
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. =)
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?
thanks for showing this process. I feel that you could possibly also do each flower separately instead of using the entire plate. I think that would minimise any botch ups and you can scrape off those that did not come out as good. But I love the colours and how you go about it. Lovely pieces.
Thank you!
Hi, thank you so much for this video. Did you prepare your own underglazes or did you bought them? Thank you
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!
You are a wonderful artist and so inspiring! I love the colors of your glazes...can you share the brand name and the names of these colors?
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!
@@RebeccaGerendasy many thanks!
