Episode 65. Creating Eco-conscious Pottery Colour with Plant Ashes

Eco-conscious Pottery Colour Series: Part 4

Colour in pottery is usually created with commercial metal oxides available as a raw material or as an ingredient in stains.

In the fourth of this special five-part podcast series to celebrate the release of the book ‘Eco-conscious Pottery Colour: A guide to colouring ceramics with scrap metals, glass, plant ash and clay’, we explore how to create beautiful glaze colours in pottery, using the ashes of plants!
