The theme of the fifteenth annual meeting (although this is a debatable point) of the
Transferware Collectors Club was
printing on ceramics. The meeting commenced with a lecture titled
Perfecting Printing on Pottery by Pat Halfpenny. Pat's lecture served as a springboard for the opening of an exhibit at the
Winterthur Museum in Delaware titled
Transferware: A Story of Pattern & Color.

Thank you for reminding me about the Northern Ceramic Society! We have a collection of their journals, but didn't realise that they are online now.
