Abstract
This paper presents comprehensive methods of exploring textures on tree barks to decorate ceramic tile murals and their results. The bark of different tree spices has been explored extensively in conjunction with modern technologies to design tiles. Materials used for the tile production were Abonko clay and grog. A plasticity and shrinkage test were conducted on of the Abonko clay. Therefore, a composition of 90% Abonko clay and 10% grog fired at 1050 o c was suitable for ceramic tile murals. The study concluded that textures on tree barks could be exploited to obtain designs to serve as a medium for decorating ceramic tile murals. It is therefore recommended among other things, that care should be taken when felling trees from our environments since textures of tree barks could be of interest to ceramic artists or designers in design processes. Keywords: Clay , Tree barks, textures, and tiles. DOI: 10.7176/ADS/101-06 Publication date: September 30 th 2022
