Aliyah brought back the plaster moulds the group had made in her last workshop. To test the moulds of different foods and snacks, clay was simply pressed in and removed, creating small sculptural forms.

With sprigs pressed, the group were asked to use letter stamps to print their names into the tiles. Aliyah brought Cyrillic, Arabic/Urdu and braille letter stamps. 

Once their names were stamped, the group added their moulded shapes to the tiles to create a mix of 3D and flat decoration. A white clay was used so Aliyah can test the colours she might use for her final installation.
