Mission Tile

Beginning Ceramics

Project #1Christine Burris

First, recycle clay via The Pug Mill

Wedge this clay completely on the wedging table

Using a wire cutter and magazinesCreate an even slabapproximately 1 inch thick

Cut your slab into 2 tiles with exact right angled corners.

• Use a t square to adjust corners

• Both tiles must be identical

Use a design or piece of plant life to draw your design

Carve away everything that is not the design so the end effect is the image being raised above the tile.

Tiles are graded on neatness and craftsmanship.

• Store unfinished tiles in a plastic bag to prevent drying and cracking.

• Continue to refine edges and smooth background surfaces.

• Put a stylized representation of your initials in the front.

• Print your name neatly on the back.• Fill our a self evaluation sheet and turn in
