ART CLASS-

@ Gail Austin ’s Studio in the mountains, 10 minuets past Conifer on HWY 285 @ Pine Junction. Limited to 8 students   

 

Advanced Tile, CARVED

2-part class:

Learn how to make beautiful hand carved tiles form scratch.  The old fashioned way.

Part 1: At the star t of class you will begin by rolling out a slab of clay, as in “Basic Hand-made Decorative Tile Class”.  Sculpt clay with various tools to make designs and/or press natural objects into the clay. Have your design sketched out and ready before class.

Tiles are dried slowly and “Bisc” fired by Gail

Part 2: We paint “Mason stains” and oxides into the tiles, penetrating the recessed areas of the carved designs. Then we dip tiles in clear glaze.

The tiles are fired again.
