Invitation:
All schools, F.E. colleges ,children/youth organisations, children and young people in Staffordshire and Cheshire are invited to submit designs that will be applied onto a ceramic tile . Entries will be judged and award winners will have their designs produced in a limited number of three.
Brief:
The challenge is to create a winning design for the tile/s, Tile size 30 x 20 cm. The winning designs will be hand painted using the ‘flow glazed’ technique onto the tiles by world famous skilled artists from Anita Harris Art Pottery . The finished tiles will then be used to create a ‘temporary wonderwall’ of completed designs and tiles, this will be constructed and exhibited in Stoke on Trent and Cheshire to coincide with the 2012 Olympic Games. Following this a permanent piece of public art will be created using the winning tiles. Designs can be created using computer graphics, digital photography, line drawing and painting. There is no restriction on the number of colours however Metallic colours can not be applied.
