Your Tile
should represent what is unique about you, your work
and your country, its people, environment, culture and
heritage -- not ours please!
What is special about your part of the World to add to
this international jig-saw? Whatever you design,
please incorporate your personal seal and your town or
country of origin (name, map, flag or symbol?)
Remember 10,000+ people will tread The Path each year
looking for tiles from every continent and country in
the World including yours!

Important! Your tile must be
+ square + impervious + sturdy and tough
+ with non-slip surface so it is safe to walk in very
wet weather
+ no very deep profile please

Tiles to measure:
10 cm x 10 cm (4" x 4") x 1 cm (give or take a mm or
2!)

Please make, fire and send your tile now!!
+ pack really well
+ do not forget your name and postal or email address
+ declare as a gift/cadeau if posted outside European
Union
+ include interesting information for exhibition with
your tile/s
+ send to The International Potters' Path at this
address:
The Chapel of Art // 8 Marine Crescent // Criccieth
LL52 0EA // GB-Wales

Deadline: When 5000 suitable tiles have arrived. Tiles
that do not meet the above criteria may not be used
for safety reasons

Have fun Alisa, and pass the info along... :)
