Ceramics: Design & Glaze Iznik Tiles
Iznik tiles get their name from the Turkish town of Iznik where they were first made, starting in the 15th century. The tiles are easily recognised by their intricate floral designs and palette of cobalt blue, turqouise, and bole red against a glossy white background.
Students will design and glaze a set of tiles. Beginning with design, learn a vocabulary of traditional floral forms. Students will then move on to testing glaze colours and finally painting the designs onto bisque tiles.
Please note that the tiles require time to dry and be fired. Students will be asked to return after the course is over to collect their fired tiles.
