Create unusual samples like those shown here. They were produced in a process workshop run jointly by the Printmaking and Ceramics Workshops.
Damp clay tiles were passed through the relief press, together with items to be impressed into the surface of the clay. These ranged from dry leaves to a variety of textile materials. Metal type was also pressed into the clay.
The clay was then taken to the Ceramics Workshop to be dried and fired. Once bisque fired, the tiles may be re-fired with glaze or as with the examples here, brought back to the Print Workshop to be 'cold surfaced' with printing inks.
