On The Tiles

We have been making clay tiles

with artist Carole Miles

we collected  leaves and grasses

and impressed letter stamps

and buttons into the soft, damp clay.

We also drew and dotted!

We used a clay tile cutter to make the tiles 

and left them in the sun to dry.

Carole took them away to be fired

promising to bring them back for us to glaze.

You can see all of our tiles so far here

Signal Box and Puddle Jumping Continued

Friday's Shednologists were Carolyn and Alice Bantin who worked together on the Signal Box panel 

Alice also took the opportunity to do some drawing and to try some new art materials.

After a very warm morning of mosaic making

mother and daughter had a rest in the shade before heading for home

In the afternoon Carole was joined by Kate Dyer and mosaic making stalwart Lucy Anderson. Kate worked with Carole outside on the Signal Box panel whilst Lucy braved the heat of the shed, aided a small electric fan and continued work on the puddles in Puddle Jumping.
