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

In the first of this 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 what Eco-conscious pottery colour is and why it’s great for Potters, and the Earth. 

*Eco-conscious Pottery Colour is available on the Oxford Clay website here

*A paper copy of Eco-conscious Pottery Colour is available from Amazon here.
