Students receive a prepared clay tile approximately 6” x 6.” Designs provided by the studio or students are traced onto the tile. The design is then carved into the tile with carving tools. The result is a black and white tile that has a block printing look, suitable for display or framing. Projects are fired and ready for pickup in two weeks. Shipping is available at additional cost. This project allows participants the experience of working with tiles in a stylized approach, removing clay rather than adding it, and adapting a two dimensional design to clay.
