As civilizations advance and new materials or tools are discovered, artists utilize the possibilities of new techniques to decorate both functional and sculptural works. Each and every technique employed yields a distinct surface in response to the process and the intention. If we investigate only image and design transfer techniques alone, we find more than thirty techniques that can be used on green ware, bisque ware, and glaze ware. The possibilities for discovering new alternative ways to create transfer images and designs on ceramic surfaces expands further, as we employ screen printing, sponge printing; stamped, linocuts and other printmaking techniques.
