From extracting clay to exporting your work, this is a practical guide to producing unique ceramic pieces with minimal environmental impact.

In this book, Kevin Millward explores how potters and ceramicists can be more responsible in sourcing and using the planet''s finite resourcesWith tips for the whole making process such as firing, choosing fuels, extracting clays and raw materials, reclaiming water and glazes, disposing of ceramic materials, packing and shipping, this is a comprehensive guide to producing extraordinary pieces.

By accepting and embracing a green approach in ceramic processes, we are setting out an example for future generations and paving the way for a more creative and respectful industry.
