How do I make a test tile?

Types of test tiles: Extruded "T"

“T" shaped tiles made from an extruder. Make one side of the leg of the T smooth, the other side a texture. Do the three dips with the leg of the T. Lay it upside down (on the top part of the T) to fire, which will help to catch runny glaze, or if you glaze the whole inside L also give you an idea of what the glaze acts like on a flat surface.
