design a single decorative tile that is 100 x 100 x 15 mm
explore the effect of the pattern when the tile is used singly, or in multiples
explore the effect of the pattern when a number of tiles are arranged in a line as well as when a number of tiles are arranged in a block – what diagonal patterns emerge then?

develop your tile design through sketching and sketch models
apply your design to the mdf blank that you will prepare (note: you will be able to add material as well as take material away, but remember draft angles)
vacuum form the finished tile blank to create a negative mould
use this moulds to cast a finished plaster tile
during the remainder of term, you can revisit the workshop to cast eight additional tiles
embellish your tiles further using colour and surface pattern
