Making test tiles


Test tiles were made of each clay. I made a stamp which had a 10cm raised line on it, so we could check the shrinkage of the clay after drying and firing. One set of tiles were to be raw glazed (once fired), and another sample biscuit fired, glazed and glaze fired. Two glazes were being tested, a borax glaze and a lead glaze.
