In this workshop, Martin will guide you on making up to four medieval tiles which will be glazed and fired after the class. Tile designs can be created by impressing or carving into the clay, once you have pressed or carved your tile, a lighter colour clay is pressed in. After a short wait allowing the inlayed clay a chance to partially dry the tile is scrapped back to reveal the inlayed design.
The first part of the class you will inlay a pre-pressed tile, this is made with a replica mould copied from a tradition design, the second part of the class you will create a medieval or contemporary tile using your own designs.
Replica designs are approximately four inches square, although your own tiles can be any size up to six inches square. This could include a set of smaller tiles creating one image.
All materials, as well as tea and coffee are provided.
