Episode 81. How to Design Pottery For The Environment
Designing for the environment is a way of creating products where the minimum possible negative environmental impact on the environment is intrinsic to their design.
In design for the environment, a product is thought of holistically, from the raw materials used to make it, to its manufacturing process.
Potters have a huge opportunity to design for the environment because we have direct control over how our pottery is made and the ingredients we make it with.
In this episode, I explain the three different aspects I used to create a design for the environment framework at Oxford Clay in which to make my pottery. The three aspects of designing for the environment framework in pottery are:
⭐Raw materials
⭐Pot design
⭐Pottery-making processes
