Workshop: Maltese Souvenir Tile Design Experience
Overview
Through this activity guests will learn the brief history of the Maltese traditional tile and will have the ability to create their own tile from scratch (including the base) which they can use either as a coaster or a decorative piece, or else giving it as a small gift to their relatives back home. This is meant to create an element of interactivity and authenticity to the souvenir.

What To Expect
The activity is based in my small art studio (Which is in a traditional house) in Marsa! you will be given a brief historical information about the Maltese Tiles, then you will create your own one replica tile using plaster or white cement. (size is 10 x 10cm which can be used as a coaster souvenir (On which you can put your cup of coffee).
I will show you how this is done from concept to realization, starting from research, designing your own pattern (or use the ones we have available), making the mold using plaster, transfer the design to the mold, and finally painting it using acrylics which are a quick dry medium! At the end you will be keeping the tile for yourself, and have something handmade (and Maltese) which you can take back home!
