Pink! This Yunomi from the collection @theleachpottery is made from two types of clay from my local area, the body is Saltburn clay and the bright pink slip is from my local woods at Kilburn right next to the White Horse. I have processed the Saltburn clay slightly less on this one leaving in stone inclusions to create planned texture but also to allow the clay to naturally pit and bloat to add an uncontrolled element to the work. Both are fired to around 1100c. There are two Earthenware Yunomi like this one in the collection and they signal the start of a new direction that I am exploring in my work. I am becoming more conscious of my impact on the environment as a potter and I am searching for ways to create work with exclusively local materials that I harvest. I am also starting to look a greener firing alternatives and lowering my firing temperatures #earthenware #earth #digyourown #homegrown #dig #local #thinklocal #localmaterials #locallysourced #sustainability #environment #localclay #wildclay #yunomi #cup #ethical #potter #terracotta #fromtheearth #northyorkshire #yorkshire #theyorkshirepotter #northernpotter #josephludkin #theleachpottery #reduce (at Rainton) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc7cWHtDP8T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
