Bluseed Studios will be hosting a 5-week handmade tile and plaster press mold workshop by clay artist Brooke Noble. In this class, students will focus on creating original tiles with a high-relief dimensional pattern. Once the tile pattern has been determined, students will learn how to make a simple plaster press mold in order to make multiple tiles. The end result may be a one of a kind fireplace, backsplash, wall hanging or single tiles that can function in several ways. We will discuss the possibilities of installation and additional projects that may stem from this technique. Come with ideas, inspiration from a source or an absolute open-mind.
The class begins on Saturday March 20 and runs consecutively through April 24. Class time is 10:30am-1pm and is open to adults 15 years and up. The price of this 5-week workshop is $185.00 and includes the price of materials and firings.
