Abstract

A problem commonly encountered in transferring pottery designs from curved vessel surfaces to flat drawing surfaces is that of controlling the type and placement of the distortion which results from this transfer. Elimination of all distortion is impossible. Control of the distortion may be accomplished by tracing the design onto a polyethylene sheet prior to making a pen and ink reproduction.
