Create Strange Tiles Decorated with Amazing Aliens at Jackfield Tile Museum
8th January 2013
Let your imagination run wild this February half-term at the Amazing Aliens themed tile decorating workshops at Jackfield Tile Museum in Shropshire’s Ironbridge Gorge. Design a weird and wonderful creature inspired by the mysteries of outer space and tube line the alien on a ceramic tile using your own choice of colours, which will be sent home a few days later. The drop-in sessions will take place from Monday 18 to Friday 22 February 2013.
The Victorian tube lining technique will be used to decorate the 6 x 6 inch tiles, which are priced from £5 per tile (p&p extra to have your tile sent home after firing) plus the museum admission fee.
