Ceramics Clay Tiles Natalie Blake

Contemporary Tile Artist

Two Methods of sculpting: 1. Additive-placing more clay onto the tile 2. Subtractive-taking clay away from the tile

Three Handbuilding Techniques: 1.Coils- rolling a rope of clay, 2. Slab- rolling a pancake of clay, 3. Pinching/Forming-

To create your tile: 1. Roll a ½” thick slab of clay, dimensions 81/2” x 81/2”. 2. Roll your paper template onto the slab, cut out the clay square and transfer design onto clay. 3. Using subtractive/additive methods and the handbuilding techniqes of coils, slabs and pinching/forming, carve and build your tile using at least 3 different textures and creating at least 3 layers of depth. 4. Focus on creating a visually balanced composition using line and shape to create patterns and textures within the tile. Tile should feel unified, and may or may not have a focal point (emphasis) 5. When attaching clay to clay, be sure to use the “3- S’s”, score(scratch), slip(clay glue) and smear(rub pieces together)
