Grasses best

This tile is one of a series from Rachel Dein's Tactile Studio. To make the tile, Rachel laid flowers and foliage on to a rolled-out slab of clay and pressed them in to transfer all their details and then carefully removed them. A wooden frame was then placed over and the plaster poured in. Once best set, the clay was peeled away to reveal the ‘plants' in relief. With this original piece, she made a silicon rubber mould from which this tile was cast - using Crystacal R, a very hard, fine plaster.

Size: 12 x 12 x 1.5 cms. The series comes in the natural white with a clay wash. The tile has a hole in the back for hanging with a small nail, and comes with a gift box.

NOTE: Each tile is hand cast, coloured and finished. The colours and impressions may vary slightly from the photograph you see here.
