Underglaze Transfer – Hawaiian Tapa Cloth

$6.99

Hawaiian Tapa Cloth is a bold, richly patterned design inspired by the look of traditional tapa cloth. A patchwork of geometric blocks, floral forms, diamonds, stripes, and carved-looking motifs creates a layered surface with lots of texture and visual interest. The hand-drawn, slightly distressed linework gives the pattern an organic, printed feel that works especially well on mugs, bowls, vases, planters, and slab-built pieces.

  • High quality underglaze transfer printed on thin rice tissue paper.

  • Extra Large Size: 19”x13”.

  • Test samples are included with every order. Always test transfers first before committing to a large piece or body of work.

  • Temperature Range: Cone 06-10. Zinc-free Clear Glaze Recommended.

  • Level of Difficulty: Medium. Large areas of color will require more burnishing. Will need touching up.

  • PLEASE NOTE: It is not recommended to rub, sponge or rinse bisqued pieces before glazing as some of the transfers can still smear at this stage.

  • Once glazed, the transfers are permanently fused to the clay and are considered food safe as long as the glaze used over them is rated food safe.

  • Check out the Underglaze Transfer process page for detailed instructions on how to use these transfers and/or download instructions here.
