About the event
Have a go at making a set of hand-made tiles and enjoy the process of turning a slab of clay into squares of colour and pattern, decorating them with different surface decoration techniques. You will be able to explore decoration using impressing, relief and sgraffito techniques. Joanna Espiner is teaching this 2-day tile making course over two Saturdays in April: Saturday 6th and Saturday 20th April 2024. On day one you’ll make the tiles and explore ways of using coloured slip and on day two you will finish your tiles with glaze. The tiles will then be fired and ready for collection at a later date.
