December 22, 2006, Newsletter Issue #221: Types of test tiles: Extruded Squares

Tip of the Week

Extrude a hollow square or hexagonal form to create a long tube. This gives 4 surfaces to do different things to. One side is scratched with a fork or a serrated rib for texture. One side receives black underglaze, one red underglaze, etc. and the last side left plain. (You can vary this, add oxide lines to see how they react) Slice into sections about 3 inches long and punch holes.
