Steps 1-3
1. Create a face design on tracing paper. The main focal points for the face and selected design shapes are made of handmade ceramic tiles. Use a dark marker so the design will be visible when it is placed on the clay.

2. Handmade tiles: Wedge out a piece of clay, pounding it to eliminate air bubbles and make it smooth.

3. Roll out the clay into flat sheets using a rolling pin or slab roller to a thickness of approximately 3/8 inch.
