Sorry to be a bit late in replying to this thread. I spent the last four days
showing tubelined tile at a trade show.
Kenneth Clark's recipe is a good starting point. It never worked for me but gave
me direction for experimenting.
I create tubelined tile in the traditional way - on bisque tile. Regular slip
didn't work for me but perhaps it was my bisque tile or my slip recipe. I am sure
it is more likely to work if you are tubelining on unfired clay.
It is labor intensive, as has been mentioned, but there is nothing like it.
Molded tile (called cuenca) just doesn't have the same fluid feel to it. I
actually find it quite meditative to produce. I have been creating tubelined tile
for about 8 years so it is no longer a struggle but a smooth flowing movement
totally absorbed in the moment.
If you would like to see my tile, visit my website http://www.tiledecorative.com

Thank you very much for sending this note, and for the opportunity to
view this website. Lovely work, hope to see it in person someday! I
can see that it is labour intensive, but the results appear to be very
much worth it.
