"Are You Kidding?"
those words just jumped out at us on the booth's background...
Above it were words to the effect that pottery was environmentally
friendly...
Very apropos to discussions we've been having here and i imagine we will
be seeing this subject more and more so these ppl were of great interest
to us...
Its called Clean Creek Products and they have a mission of cleaning up the
dregs of a coal mine ... they are a non-profit and they are offering to
supply potters freely with iron oxide (yellow ochre looks like) and
manganese oxide that comes from their efforts. In exchange they would like
to purchase pottery to sell to raise money for their continued efforts...
they are scientists and really friendly ppl... we were well impressed with
them... i plan to try their oxides next round...
their web-site is
http://www.cleancreek.org/catalog/conditions.php
anyone interested in using their recovered oxides to develop glazes should
contact them... they were really approachable..
