We would like to invite you to join our 9to 90 Art Club members & volunteers.

On Friday 5th September, we are starting one of 3 classes working with Esther Ley on some creating our own ceramic tiles.

Decorative Tiles - in 3 parts - session one - September 5th, session two - September 19th, and session 3 on October 3rd.

Learn how to create beautiful abstract clay tiles decorated with patterns, colours and shapes. We’ll be adding lots of layers to make them look really special. Finally, we’ll glaze them to make them shiny and the colours will pop!

Wk 1. Firstly we’ll be making very simple patterns and shape on paper using brushes, sponges, slips and underglazes to experiment.

We’ll save these to use in the next Decorative Tiles session.

Wk 2. We’ll roll out clay and use our paper patterns from the first week to transfer onto the clay. We may also add extra colour and texture and some ‘sgraffito’ decoration.

Don’t worry if you didn’t come to wk1 as Esther will have some spare pattern sheets you can use.

When the clay is decorated we’ll stamp it out into clay tiles! Esther will fire them in the kiln to harden them.

Wk3. Our tiles will be ready for the final decoration using underglazes to enhance the texture and patterns. When they are finished Esther will show you how to glaze them ready for firing in the kiln.

With free hot drinks, snacks and lots of chat, we look forward to seeing you.

With continued thanks to our funders The National Lottery Community Fund.
