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 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!
*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.
