Painting the Tiles



This is a photo of the painted tiles and gives you an idea of how the wall will look.  It is exciting to see the pieces match up!  Sometimes it is not a perfect match but that's OK....creative!  We are using a one fire method introduced to me by "The Clay Lady" (Danielle  McDaniel ) of Mid-South Ceremics in Nashville.  After the students create their tile we paint the tile with an underglaze and when they have dried for about 1-2 weeks I will dip them in a clear glaze and fire them.  

More Creative Students!

Creating the tiles!









Today was Clay Day!  The students drew out their ideas yesterday and today they made a tile and added the coils and symbols.
