Today I went to the Jackfield Tile museum in Ironbridge for my art GCSE and Holly went later last week, although this was for our Art it was also for a fun day out because nearing the end of the school year our teachers plan 'exciting' day outs to celebrate all the hard work we'd done that year.
To create our tile, we traced the picture we wanted to create on top of carbon paper which transferred onto the four tiles we were making; using clay we created a tube lining which acted as our guide lines for where our glaze would be placed.
Then using the glazing chart to figure out what colour glazes we needed for our design we dabbed the glaze onto the tiles, we won't know what they'll look like once they're finished in the kiln until September when we go back to school and when we get them back we'll post a picture of them.
It was a lovely day out which was made better by my friends and I can't wait to see the final product.
