Series: New Ceramics

An essential resource for ceramicists, studios or schools looking for inspiration to reclaim, reuse and recycle in their studio or work.

Producing work that is not only beautifully designed and produced, but is also environmentally friendly and socially responsible is now more important than ever. In Sustainable Ceramics, pioneer Robert Harrison draws on more than four decades of making, and a wealth of experience shared by other artists to present you with a range of practical possibilities.

This book presents you all the factors to consider when going 'green', from fuels and alternative firing technology to energy-saving methods, sustainable ways to collect and use clay itself, and ways to deal with or recycle your waste materials and save water. He suggests simple and achievable methods by which to reduce the carbon footprint of your ceramic art, and draws on interviews and examples by practitioners who reclaim, reuse and recycle in their studio or work.

Reviews for Sustainable Ceramics: A Practical Approach

Artists are increasingly interested in producing work which is not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly. The book covers over four decades of making and a wealth of experiences. -- Billy Byles * Aylesford School of Ceramics * Robert Harrison, sets out to convince the reader to do something positive. And he does it well ... I found the book fascinating. I would encourage all potters to read it. Either buy the book or borrow mine; I've read my copy and I daren't let it end up as landfill. -- Frank Hamer * Shards *
