Tile Press Molds |

Advanced pottery students create a plaster mold of a clay tile for reproduction. |
|||
| Students create an original
tile in clay. A wood form is constructed around the tile on a piece of
Plexiglas. The form is clamped together and fresh clay is used to
seal the cracks and edges. A release agent is applied to the tile, the
form and the glass and plaster is mixed and poured into the form. After
the plaster had set up, the mold may be used to press a series of
identical pieces. The beauty is that each tile can then be alter to
be unique through additive or subtractive processes.
