Okay so we've entered and opened our form for these test tiles and as you can see we
have a ring of clay here. Now we're going to form the face of the test tile and we're
simply going to be bringing a chunk of clay from the bottom and we're going to be dragging
it up through the wall. I'm going to have my sponge and my finger on the outside. This
finger on the inside just above it. And I'm going to squeeze the clay between and simply
pull up a wall. So here we go. Wet down the clay. Hand on the outside, finger on the inside
and pulling up a wall like this.
Okay so now I've pulled up the walls of our test tiles as you can see here. The next stage
is going to be shaping the edge of our test tile so that we have the textures and surfaces
that we want to test our glazes. And we're going to be doing that next.
