Thank you all for all the comments. I will ask in the local workshop in general but you really got me convinced to aim for wall tiles and let go of the floor tiles.
I think it's a big undertaking even without adding more difficulties
I'll post a pic if I do it and I might have a few questions along the way. Thanks again!

Neilestrick, Thanks a lot for the fast replay. I don't have so much clay experience. I did a few clay and porcelain projects is art school but always with someone to help me with the firing. I would really want to get into it though.
I am thinking of 10x10cm (4"x4") because I think they would be versatile and probably easier to make. I would maybe make a few larger decorative ones and a few smaller ones for the walk-in shower floor.
What percent grog do I need to look for for the floors and for the walls?
I could not find much information about vitrified clay other then it is mixed with silica. Can you tell me what to look for? Is it possible to buy?
I would go to my local clay workshop space later. It was closed yesterday but I've seen that then have some tiles and a tile presser on display so maybe they have experience with floors too.

Hey all, I found on this site instructions on how to make flat tiles https://ceramicartsnetwork.org/daily/article/Flat-Tiles-The-Easy-Way
I would like to try it as I am renovating my whole bathroom. My question is could they be used as floor tiles?
If so, is there any specifications to the thickness of the firing temp? Thanks
I'll post a pic if I do it and I might have a few questions along the way. Thanks again!

Thanks Rockhopper, I sure like to do a one of a kind ones. I'll try a few from start to finish and do tests. If it would be too much work I might also do only a few to place i between commercial ones.
