If you’re feeling overwhelmed I know the feeling!
When I began to make more eco-conscious choices in my life my pottery practice began to feel out of alignment. I had been going to pottery evening classes for years but I didn’t know anything about the materials I was using or even where they came from.
I decided to find out as much as I could, but it wasn’t easy!
I called pottery suppliers who told me that pottery materials are often internationally traded and mixed before being sold, making them impossible to trace. I spent hours reading books from the library, newspaper articles, organisational reports, and journal papers.
I experimented with many different pottery methods, techniques, recipes and ingredients. Many of which didn’t work, cracked my pots or looked awful, and at times I honestly felt like giving up!
Finally though, after many months, I knew enough to have developed an eco-conscious pottery practice where I could make what I wanted, knowing that it had minimal impact on humans, animals and the environment.
I don’t want you to go through the same long and difficult process, so that’s why I put everything I learned into these books and courses.
