Hybridizing Printmaking and Clay: Trading Stories through Tile Making

Join us in this workshop where you will create a set of your own hand made tiles and learn to translate printmaking techniques to transform your clay surface. In this class Dilara will guide attendees on slab building tiles and preparing their surface to transfer a repetitive or large scale image over multiple tiles. Attendees will learn how to utilize printmaking methods on a clay surface through sgraffito and intaglio techniques to create a unique array of tiles that can be puzzled together. Dilara makes these pieces within her own work inspired by Byzantine and Ottoman iconography. She utilizes the tiles as a created artifact, taking rubbings of the tiles resulting in a piece that holds the shadow of the object. Ages 16-Adult
