Drawing for illustration, Week 3 (17/10/2023)
In continuation of this week's exploration of the British Ceramic Biannual I further explored the print and mark making within the creation of tiles (as explored during our natural tile making session during the exhibition).
In England there are a broad variety of different tiles preserved throughout history that have used various techniques, materials and processes to create ceramic architecture and art pieces. For instance, these include types such as;
- Roman tiles
- Medieval tiles
- Delft tiles

| 4th century Roman mosaic pavement (reference for image *1) |

| Stamped relief designed medieval tile (reference for image *2) |
 |
| Delft tile fireplace (reference for image *3) |
Despite these different types of tiles being significantly different in employment of materials, processes and techniques, most commonly in design they all use forms of pattern and repetitive mark making. This spans from different categories of mark making such as typography, limited line and colour designs and symbolism.
