Reclaiming and Recycling - Ceramics - Recycled Noot

I always have been a reclaiming clay kind of person...
About 3 years ago it took strange proportions and i was starting to get extreme with it!!

Now i have designed a ceramic pottery line that is all about reclaiming and recycling.
The most unexpected things occur when high fired - i love it.
Because i work with a lot of different stoneware (high fire materials) every batch is different
of color, specks, grog, light or darkness, etc.
Also all the sweep up's from my workspace go in there.
Here a collage of this cycle...

A bowl i was sponging broke and i put it in the reclaim/recycle bucket.
Upper picture are the two halfs in kind of dry stage.
The bottom pics are made two hours later - the magic of clay!!

P.s the recycle sign came from creative.spayce.com

Available at Centrum Beeldende Kunst...

Just wanted to let you know that a collection of Stone & Color is available at the CBK.
They have the colors Cool grey Stone with yellow, orange and mint in stock.

In different sizes all without ears!!

CBK - art store.

Colored porcelain.....

Colored porcelain - porcelain in colors!!

Wow - lot to find in al kinds of styles.
I enjoyed looking, browsing and finding them.
All ceramics below are made of colored porcelain, from soft pastels and earth tones to the bright primaire colors. Classic, modern, romatic, naturals you can shape it anyway you like - with knowledge ofcourse.
Because with porcelain you need some!
Made in molds with liquid porcelain.
