Travelling Tiles

2024

Travelling Tiles is a project that aims to create opportunities for creative and intercultural exchanges between children from different regions, through drawing and digital fabrication.

Using a web application, participants can create and share their own drawings, as well as edit the work of others. Once published, the drawings can be converted into ceramic tiles using a pen plotter.

The digital drawings, published under a creative commons BY-NC-SA license are available to be repurposed and remixed, and participants are encouraged to create their own versions of existing designs.

By contrast, the pen plotter allows the drawings to be made physical and permanent as a tile, where they can be combined with other analog techniques to create an individually expressive copy.
