Earlier this year, I was immersed in Lisbon tiles when I visited that city with Ace Camps. While teaching my group of students about pattern and tile, I developed packs of paper tiles for my students to play with, giving them hands-on fun with figuring out all the many, many layouts that a single motif could …
