91. How to Recycle Waste Incense Stick Ash Into a Stoneware Pottery Glaze


Listen Later

In this mini episode of the podcast I tell you about a beautiful greeny-brown coloured stoneware pottery glaze I’ve made with ash recycled from incense sticks.

Rather than throwing the incense ash away after burning, it can be collected and recycled into a pottery glaze coloured only by the natural trace metals in the ash! 

The stoneware pottery glaze recipe used in this episode is: 

40 parts - Sieved Incense Ash (sieved with a 100 mesh size sieve) 

40 parts - Cornish Stone 

20 parts - Quartz
