Tile Making Santa Theresa Style

$358.00 includes 15 total hours of instruction and studio time
Tile Making and Decorating Tool Kit, Clays, Glazes and Kiln Firings

The class is designed so that all activities may be accomplished within class time, the key is to PLAN AHEAD.

Students may take clay home to cut (2 slabs max Day 1 & Day 2). We recommend that all cutting be done within the first two weeks of class, this will allow ample time to get all your tiles through the glazing, detailing and firing process.

Tile Making 2 offers more instruction and the opportunity to continue cutting, glazing, detailing and firing tile. Another option would be Open Studio, in which you can work at your own pace, and includes firing of your tiles, but no instruction. Reasonably priced firing is available privately through Kristine.

You will have enough material and time in class to make approximately 3 square feet of shaped tile. Individual amounts may vary according to student's ability and quickness. The tiles in the final firing (Day 4) will be ready for pickup on a predetermined date.
