Colour in pottery is usually created with commercial metal oxides available as a raw material or as an ingredient in stains.
In the second 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 how to create beautiful glaze colours in pottery, using scrap copper and iron.
