These two tiles were made in terracotta with the wave pattern as I described in my last post, fired in a bisque fire and then painted with green and blue glazes. This was then rubbed off, revealing the wavy pattern of terracotta ridges. The tiles were then coated again with clear glaze and fired once more. This takes a long time but it can't be rushed. My son Bevis tells me that the tile should be set to dry on a piece of plasterboard that uniformly draws the wet from the tile and prevents it from warping.
