After all the time and effort making test tiles I wanted to be able to use this valuable information to the max. My two chosen methods dovetail nicely and each bring different benefits.
1) Digital Filing Cabinet - Video to follow. Full visual & narrative of glazes used, application, number of coats, firing programmes including search facility.
2) Physical Test Tile wall in my home studio. Nothing can replace physically holding and seeing the test tile in the hand in my opinion!
Not the easiest footage to film and edit, and its not complex but wanted to share the whole process of how I make, store and use test tiles as part of my pottery adventure.
I get a lot of people asking me why I add holes at the bottom of my test tile foot, and why don't I throw them on the wheel. Hopefully this helps explain my decision for this and give others inspiration in ways to store and visually enjoy their test tiles long after they have been made.
