Tile Making Workshop
These are some tiles made from the Tile Workshop. These tiles were inspired by the colour experiments I’ve done which relates back to Josef Albers’ colour theories. These tiles were exploration of a new medium. I would say the first two tiles show direct relationship with the artist’s colour theories whereas the other tiles are just exploration of how materials work together and looking at possible outcomes when working with clay.
During the tile making session, it was interesting to understand how clay works and the amount of effort and care you’d have to put in in order to generate something acceptable. We learnt about different kinds of clay, glazes and techniques. What intrigued me is the fact that we’re designing a tile that could be repeated to set a tone within a space. Thinking about where I would put these tiles, I would consider placing them as an accent wall, a back splash in the kitchen area and as bathroom tiles as well.
