Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Your fantastic clay coaster with the painted design is ready to be used!

Paint the design using Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Black 02, Crimson 04, Golden Yellow 09, Light Green 12, Orange 17, White 27, and Cerulean Blue 32.

Step 3

Your wooden tray with a Talavera tile design made using Mouldit clay is now ready to be displayed or used.

Step 4

Take the wooden tray and paint it with a base coat of Acrylic Colour Black 02. Allow it to dry.

Step 5

Take equal parts of Mouldit resin base and hardener, and thoroughly mix them until you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency.
Roll out the dough to create a slab using a rolling pin.
Cut the slab to measure 5” x 5”.
Use clay carving/modelling tools to engrave a design inspired by Talavera tiles onto the slab. Let it dry.

Step 6

Apply a light, watery wash of Acrylic Colour Black 02 to the slab. Wipe the excess wash off with a rough rag.
