Tile Making Workshop

Once the room goes quiet I know the magic of making has come over the participants; waves of concentration shimmer in the air as the heads bend over the tiles, the quest for the right stamp or tool for the idea begins, rolling clay and brushing on coloured slips with curious delight, only then does the chat and sharing restart.

Over time I have developed this 2.5 - 3 hour tile making workshop into creative opportunity to enjoy a have-a-go experience with clay in a fun and encouraging atmosphere.

The workshop is delivered with a theme, for example; Botanical – use local plants and flowers on the tiles which naturally opens conversation and storytelling about the local flora and fauna.

Participants can create several ceramic tile’s over a 2.5  to 3 hour workshop using a variety of demonstrated techniques with coloured clays onto a pre-prepared clay tiles.

Participants can use a variety of stamps, rollers and stencils to impress and texture the tile to their liking.

    Mould Making Skills

    Mould making is a foundational technique in the ceramics process, allowing artists to reproduce intricate forms and details with precision. This practice involves creating a negative impression of a desired shape, often using materials like plaster or silicone. Once the mould is crafted, it serves as a vessel for casting clay, enabling the artist to replicate their designs consistently. Mould making not only enhances creative possibilities but also promotes efficiency in production, making it an essential skill for ceramic artists. Through thoughtful exploration and experimentation with moulds, artists can push the boundaries of their work, ultimately enriching the dialogue between craftsmanship and artistic expression.
