Tina Byrne

The image transfers I'm doing reminded my tutor of this artist, Tina Byrne. She was one of the artists whose was part of "Bricks in the Rain", the exhibition we went to earlier in the year. This is an image I took at the exhibition of her work....

    These are known as "'decals' , another word for transfers and these are made with enamels that will adhere to ceramics when fired to a certain temperature. The photo above is the work of Tina Byrne and with a little help from photoshop she created these images and then placed them on tiles. Enamel or transfer firing is usually a third firing and reaches between 840 – 870 oC" (http://crannmorpottery.wordpress.com/)


 These are like my transfers only onto ceramic plates. They are beautiful and have a collage-memory-like appearance to them.
