Frequently asked questions
Wild clay is clay collected directly from the earth.
We hand collect (in small batches) all of the wild clay used in our ceramics. It is hand processed to remove the stones, sand and organic matter to create a workable clay body.
Wild clay must be thoroughly tested in various ways prior to using it in ceramic works to ensure suitability.
If you're interested in finding out more about wild clay, how to process is and ways to work with is, we recommend joining one of our upcoming wild clay workshops.
Natural dyeing is the process of binding plant pigments to a surface such as fabric. Hot and cold extraction processes can be used to extract the dye constitutes out of the plant or plant matter.
Fabrics, especially plant fibres, must be pre-treated well to allow for the strongest bond of the pigment to the fibre to achieve longevity and colour fastness of the colour/ print.
