| Slab Rollers, Tile Presses, Extruders, Oh My! |
We are looking for artists to send us articles on the tools we all use to continue this series of "how to" pieces.
This month we are requesting stories about using slab rollers, tile presses or extruders. If you work with one of these tools, consider sharing your experience, including how to keep your tiles from cracking, how to make a die, or the best practices you observe.
Send your article to the HTA and we will post the info either on the HTA Facebook page or on the Articles page of the HTA website.
