Learn to create one-of-a-kind accent tiles in this two-day workshop. You will explore various tile making techniques designed to give consistent results whether you are making one tile or a hundred. We will discuss methods of maintaining a consistent size and footprint in your tiles, and how to manage the contour of the design using heat control.

Among the topics to be discussed and illustrated are:

• Repeating organic borders with interlocking irregular shapes
• Various ways of texturing the front and back surfaces of tiles
• Creating a mural/panel  made up of smaller glass tiles
• How to use torchworked elements in tile designs
• Designing tiles around a theme and making several different types of tiles that carry the theme
• Etching detailed patterns into iridized tiles
• Overlaying transparent colors over opals to create exciting new colors and subtle transitions.

This workshop will help you work towards the look you want for your own tiles
