Experimenting with mark making using ceramic tiles- Counter Culture brief

Mark making ceramic tiles

I was eager to work with ceramics today, as it's a material I’m keen to explore. I gathered a few objects to press into the clay.

I pressed pieces of lasagna into the clay tiles, causing them to break apart and create zigzag cracks. I also tried pressing wool material, but it didn’t work as well as I had hoped.

I took my last tile piece outside pressing it into some bark on a tree

I made the walls for my tiles and poured the plaster

Overall, I wasn’t particularly impressed with this technique and felt a bit underwhelmed by the entire experience. I think I might need to reconsider the objects I use to press into the clay to create more interesting marks. However, I’ll wait for the final results, as they may turn out better than expected.
