All,
The directions below are copied from The Chapel of the Arts website,
Potter's Path sub-page.
Go to: http://www.the-coa.org.uk/ and follow the leads to the Potter's
Path.
Take a look at the website, see what's already been done, and see if you
could add one more tile to the path.
It will be quite some piece of international art when it's completed.
Best to all,
Tig Dupre
in Port Orchard, Washington, USA

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Very important information for all International Path Makers
Every tile really must be:
+ square 10 cm x 10 cm x 1 cm (4 x 4 inches x half inch) + 1 or 2 mm!
+ impervious preferably with a vitrified body (stoneware? porcelain?)
+ sturdy and tough, raku and similar soft bodies are not suitable
+ with non-slip surface, so it is safe to walk on in wet conditions.
+ no profile deep enough to hold water and/or trip people
+ shows country of origin and possibly town/city/region
Each Tile should represent what is unique about the Maker, their work and
their country, its people, environment, culture and heritage -- not ours
please! What is uniquely special about the part of the World you live in? Or
is there a symbol, a landmark, flower, animal, flag, coat of arms, building
or monument associated with your town, region or country?
Whatever you design, please incorporate the country of origin! It is very
important that you include a name, map, flag or other symbol of the town or
country you represent so that we can build a unique INTERNATIONAL POTTERS'
PATH, not a strange and meaningless collection of odd tiles!
Do not delay! Make your tile today!
No ideas? See examples of other have designs in The International Potters'
Path Section of the main www.the-coa.org.uk website

+ include interesting printed information, CV, URL and/or photos for the
Official Records (National Archives) and temporary exhibition with your

+ package really well, so you are confident a drop onto a hard floor from
head height would cause no damage
