Some things I thought would create eco-conscious pottery colour that didn’t work

Eco-conscious Pottery Colour Series: Bonus Episode

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

In a special bonus episode of this special 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 some things I've used in pottery to try to create colour that haven’t worked, including sugar molasses, kale stems, Chia seeds and fermented seaweed fertiliser!
