Put your creative skills to good use and decorate a tile as a unique present for your school teacher or someone special at these family gift making workshops to be held at Jackfield Tile Museum, near Ironbridge on Saturday 5th July 2014.

You will use the Victorian tube lining technique to produce a tile featuring your own personal design and choice of colours. Tiles cost from £5 each and can be fired and sent home later for a small extra charge to cover postage and packing. It takes up to 1½ hours to decorate your tile. This is not a drop-in session and places must be pre-booked; museum admission charges apply.
