Full application instructions can be viewed here: https://elantransfers.com/pages/instructions

These decals are designed and made exclusively by Elan Decals.

Please Note - Our decals have a flux coating that makes them glossy, food safe, and very durable so there will be a slight raised line on your finished fired piece where you cut around the image. Additionally, fired colors will vary slightly and are not exact. Many things can affect the variation, your monitor, the color of your glaze, type of clay, and the kiln firing temperature please test decals first to see results.

Attention: The United States Post Office processing facilities are still experiencing significant shipping delays. USPS packages of any class are typically taking 2-5 weeks to arrive despite that they are saying 1-5 days. We have no control over shipping times once your package leaves our studio and highly recommend selecting UPS (not USPS) for shipping as it is a far more reliable option at the moment. We are happy to replace your order if it is lost but as of right now orders are not being considered lost until they have been outstanding from more than 8 weeks or 16 weeks internationally. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Underglaze Transfers are recommended for green and bisqueware ceramic pots only. Overglaze Decals are recommended for use on previous glazed fired ceramic pieces and work best on a white or light colored glaze.

If you are a maker of other mediums you are welcome to try them out for your project, we offer a sample pack that you might find helpful however as we only work in the ceramic medium we are not sure of their results in other applications. Our products should never be used on edible food products such as cupcakes or cookies.

Yes! The application process is a bit different for each process and we highly recommend experimenting but our transfers can be applied to wet, leather hard, and bisqued pottery. Please view our video tutorial page for some helpful videos and or our application instruction page for more detailed instructions.

Our overglaze decals can only be applied to previously glaze fired pottery.

Wiping pots after bisquing is not recommended when you are using any underglaze decals as the ink is not set until it has a glaze on top or they are fired to a minimum of cone 6. If you get them wet or rub them after bisque it will smear the images. You can instead take them out side and blow them off if there is a lot of dust on them. Canned air or a compressor is good for this task although with my own pots I don't need to do this step when I glaze them with our rubbing technique.

You can use any glaze you like on top but keep in mind the translucency of the glaze will affect how much of the design you see. Even some clear glazes can appear cloudy or milky when applied too thick so consistency is also a concern. I recommend experimenting with some test tiles to get the perfect glaze before glazing a bunch of work.

I use Cone 5 HF-9 clear zinc free glaze from Amaco (it fires well to cone 6 too). I buy it in premixed gallons so I can brush it on each piece and I fire it to Cone 6 with a 5 min hold at temperature and a slow cool of 150 degrees per hour until it reaches 1800 degrees and then I shut the kiln off and let it cool naturally until about 200 when I crack the lid to peek.

Any and all! I highly recommend experimenting with different firing temperature and atmospheres to see what feels right for your work. I personally fire to Cone 6 in an electric kiln but have also had lots of fun using our transfers on pots fired in gas reduction kilns and wood fired kilns reaching cone 12. Our designs can also be used in low fire work with an over glaze on top.

If your final glaze firing temperature will be under Cone 6 to it is important to note that you will need an over glaze on top to seal the designs in and prevent them from rubbing off. It's also worth noting to take care when glazing and handling bisqueware with transfer designs as they can smudge when rubbed or if they get wet prior to the glaze application.
