Recycled Noot - Ceramics - Oval plate

A while back i have shown some Recycled Noot oval plates here - they were not yet fired.
Here it is fired and some more from this collection.

This collection has a lace texture - i love the little suprises in this reclaimed and recycled stoneware claybody...here is a bit more about the reclaiming and recycle cycle.
It has a natural and a bit rougher look than my other works.

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

Recycled Noot - In the making - Oval plates

Instead of throwing for a couple of weeks intensly - some slab builded plates in a oval shape.

In two sizes.

The "Recycled Noot" is a tableware collection i make of recycled materials.

All my clay trimmings, glaze scraps, even what i sweep of my workspace ground & etc.

All is saved and i make my own recycled stoneware clays.

Every time it is a suprise what comes out of the kiln after the second fire!!

I love it - recycling and the look and feel about it.

These plates are greenware so they look more like cardboard then a ceramic plate.

When they are finished i will show them to you.....
