Tiles

Artist Statement:

For this project we made four tiles that we would eventually put together to make one design. First we sketched what we wanted our tile to look like on a piece of graph paper, then we used the paper as a template to make our first tile. Then we made a plaster mold out of our first tile. Then we pressed clay into the plaster mold to make identical tiles. In total we made 6 tiles, 4 for the finished product and 2 to test the glazes. For my test tile I used Marigold (C-60), Fog (C-22), Cherry Blossom (C-50). For my actual tile I used Tourmaline (PC-27), Lavender (C-56), Yellow (SM-63).

Overall I am very happy with how this came out. I like the pattern that I made and the colors. If there was one thing I would change I might go back to make sure all of the shapes line up really well.
