Tile Project- Ceramics


Starting with a 10" x 10" clay slab, I was to design and create a tile mural using myself and my life as inspiration. I chose to create my interpretation of my Grandma's backyard- a place that holds many of my childhood memories.



I first sketched out and added color to my idea on a 10" x 10" paper.












I experimented with the clay to create a variety of flat, carved-into, and built-up textural surfaces.

I created several different test tiles to experiment with different glazing effects so i could achieve the right colors and textures.
