dc.description.abstractThe study is concerned with highlighting and i initiating the techniques of screen printing in pottery decoration among the Studio Potters in Nigeria. There are 83 pages, 8 tables and 13 plates. Three major purposes were outlined for the study: 1. To identify the procedures involved in screen printing. 2. To identify the suitable materials for screen printing on pottery. 3. To demonstrate the aesthetic quality of screen printing on pottery. Two basic assumptions were made: 1. That the materials for screen printing can be obtained in the country. 2. That variations and instability of kiln atmosphere during firing may affect the result of the study. The following constitutes the entire population for the study: screen mesh, stencils, adhesive, transfer paper, lacquer varnish, oil vehicles, ceramic inks. Rational sampling Was adopted in drawing samples for the study due to inavailability and inaccessibility of some of the materials. vi Based on the analysis of data for this study, the following inference were drawn: 1. That generalisation cannot be made of the materials used in the study. 2. It is more economical to use engobe in under-glaze printing than using stain. 3. That the cheap and common silk scarf specially made for sifting flour is very good for screening ceramic inks. 4. Prints do not register on dusty ceramic surfaces 5. That engine oil and petroleum jelly pomade are not suitable as oil mixers for screen printing. 6. That local corn starch, soft newsnrint and filter paper are potential materials for making ceramic decal.en_US
