Handmade Decorative Clay Tiles

Materials:
white oven-baked clay
pasta maker or rolling pin
flat sturdy work surface covered with a piece of artists' canvas
tools: kitchen knife; cookie sheets; acrylic paints and various brushes
fine grain sandpaper
tile glue/grout mixture from hardware store
clear spray acrylic sealer

Steps:

1. Knead and roll clay out into a slab about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick using a rolling pin or a pasta maker. Work on a canvas-covered surface. Work with a manageable amount of clay. Don't try to produce all of the tiles from one huge hunk of clay.

2. Make a template for the tiles out of acetate.
