Other Workshops:
Tuesday 15th April, Carrington: Decorative Tile Making
Design a clay tile! Inspired by Carrington’s domestic designs, use your own illustrations you will create a tile that represents an important day, person or place!
You will be using scraffito techniques and coloured slip to paint and add details to your very own tile!
Once dry, your tile will be bisque fired. We will let you know when they are ready to collect, if you would like us to post it to you, we will charge an additional £10 for special delivery.
