SUSTAINABLE CERAMICS (HARRISON)

More and more artists are interested in producing work that is environmentally friendly and socially responsible. Pioneer Robert Harrison draws on more than four decades of making to cover 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, plus dealing with waste materials. His simple and achievable methods help reduce the carbon footprint of ceramic art, and offers examples throughout of practitioners who reclaim, reuse and recycle in their work.
