An apparatus for forming desired patterns in ceramic tiles comprising:

• a number of slurry holding tanks configured to hold at least one type of slurry;
• a number of pattern forming units coupled to said number of said slurry holding tanks in which said number of slurry holding tanks are configured to deliver said slurry to said number of pattern forming units;
• a number of pattern forming trays configured to receive said slurry from said number of pattern forming units wherein each of the number of pattern forming trays further comprise a flexible frame;
• and
• a number of dispensing members fitted at the end of said number of pattern forming units and through which said slurry passes through to said number of pattern forming trays;
• wherein said number of dispensing members are capable of rotating in a circular motion to predetermined positions relative to said pattern forming units;
• and
• a filter pressing unit configured to reduce said slurry to a solid form while said slurry is within a pattern forming tray.
