Stamping Into Clay to Create Memory Tiles: a DIY Tutorial

I recently visited the Mediterranean and was in complete amazement at all of the architecture. I love anything that tells a story and Rome and Athens are certainly full of stories. I think that’s what draws me to memory tiles; the tales that they tell. I have a wall of beautiful tiles that I’ve made over the past few years and I’m so excited to continue to share them with you. Many of them are created from childhood memories, others are snippets of places I’ve visited. Regardless of the motivation, they are my most treasured pieces of art. Originally recorded live on my facebook page, this video has been edited with you in mind. I hope you enjoy it and are inspired to create your own memory tiles. I’d love to hear in the comments section what inspires you and your creative journey.
