A one time class creating relief tiles using sculptural techniques with air-dry clay. #creative
Class experience
In this one time class, learners will make their own relief tiles from air-dry clay. Relief tiles are of sculptural form, and when finished have a 3d appearance. Creating relief tiles provides a great introduction to the study of clay sculpture, for it requires many similar skills and techniques needed while using clay. There are many different types of air-dry clay on the market, and for this class we will use material that is indeed clay-- for it can dry in the air but also be fired in...
Homework Offered
Once the clay is completely dried, ( can take several days ) you can paint on your own with acrylics and/or a finish clear glaze.Assessments Offered

**** AMACO Air Dry Clay For this class, we will be working with air dry clay that is either gray or terra cotta color based. I love using this brand below, for it is clay and can also be used to throw clay on the wheel and be fired in the kiln ****Tools Suggested: The needle tool is very handy for cutting into tight corners. A variety of different sized loop tools can be used for craving into the clay, creating negative space areas. Beveled edges are easy to carve with the right size ribbon tool. Simple pointed wooden or metal skewers can work great too. ****A flat ruler to measure the sizes of your tiles ****Slip - in a tray or container ( a mixture of clay and water- more water than clay) ****Cardboard- or something similar for the finished tiles to rest on while drying
Please make before the class some slip-- which is a mixture of clay and water...,more water than clay. Usually stored in a container or tray
