If you've ever wanted to add detailed, repeatable imagery to your ceramic pieces, screen printing with underglaze might be exactly the technique you've been looking for. In this helpful how-to video, ceramic artist Kip O'Krongly walks us through her process for creating screen prints on newsprint paper for transferring to her ceramics.
Along the way, Kip shares some hard-won tips, like reinforcing your screens with duct tape for stability (a trick she picked up from fellow artist Catie Miller), writing purchase dates on your underglazes to track product changes, and why ink thickness is important for good screen prints. Hit the play button and get ready to be inspired! —Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
