Tile Design

For this assignment, we created four identical tiles that would come together to make a unique design. My inspiration was moroccan tiles with bright colors and floral designs. I made a sketch on paper then replicated with clay to make my sample tile. From there, I poured plaster over it to make a mold to make more tiles that would be identical to the first one. I made four tiles with the mold and perfected them with scraping tools. Once the tiles were dry, we bisque fired them. I used many different glazes for my tiles, including PC 27 and the yellow potter's choice glaze. When the glaze was finished, we fired them for a second time and then they were complete.

Overall, I am very happy with my tile design. If I could go back and change anything, I would add one more design on my tiles, like dots or carvings.
