This is one of the tiles I have up at my etsy shop. I did it about two years ago, along with most of my other tiles. It took a long time to make these tiles, because I had to pound the clay flat by hand, using a special mallet. I got pretty good at it. I could have rolled them, but they warp much less when they’re pounded than when they’re rolled. After I cut it to shape, I drew the design freehand with a jacquard bottle filled with slip. Then I fired it, painted on the low-fired glazes, and fired it again. This was back when my kiln was still working.
