This site looked like it might answer some questions:

but you probably want to see if you can find a good book at your local library or bookstore, but you’re most likely going to have to purchase something that specific off of the internet. I did see a book called, ‘Image Transfer on Clay’ at www.dickblick.com
if you want to take a look.
