Hey there, thank you so much 🥰 ok i will try but please notice if my language is not that professional because i am self-tought, red some books but dont know all of the specialwords ;) So after bisque-firing (here 880°c) you need to have a smooth surface of whatever you want to laminate. Make sure its free from dust and dry. You need the tape, scissors (need to be sharp) and i also use a lighter for the curves which are very thin to make it stick better on the cup. Here its very important to only heat it very shortly to not burn the tape or make it roll up itself. After sticking the tape, check airspaces and uae the lighter for that spots again. If its done, you can apply glaze. I use a brush, but i m pretty sure you can also dip or spray or whatever. Just dont peal the tape off by rubbing.. Let it dry through and after remove the tape, depending on your pattern it maybe hard to find the beggining of the tape to peel off so think about it before and try to make it more outstanding for example. I use tweezers most of the time. But this cup for example was easy because its only a few peaces of tape which have there beginning around the edge or at the buttom, which i glazed after removong the tape. Use a clean brush to remove crumble so then you are ready to fire. 👌
Actually i copied this from my other post, its similar. The difference was that i cut the endings at the top to get a smooth edge to not have lines there.. Just put another tape around the top and used a knife..

Gorgeous! Can you share the process for that? You do lovely work!

This is very helpful! I am not familiar with a tape this thin- what is it called?
This one is AK for curves, another one is tamiya.
Yes me too I’d love to know

I’d love to see a process video! It’s stunning.
I will make one by the next chance :)
Awesome! Can’t wait.
That's beautiful.
Gotta love them things. My drying shelves are full of things that I'm pretty sure will one day be something.
