Ceramic Kitchen Tiles - April 2010

A few weeks ago I found some great textile blocks (see above) on Etsy and thought they would be interesting to experiement with to see what the impressions would look like in clay. I was thrilled with the results and decided it would be fun to make tiles for my kitchen with the patterns/designs that they created. (I actually bought 11 more blocks today I love them SO much!)

As shown above, I stamp the different blocks into a combination that pleases me, then take my template square and cut around the clay to create my tile.


After the tiles have dried for a few days, I notch the back (for adhesive purposes) and then smooth the edges on the front with a sponge.
