Episode 55: How to Make Verdigris and Use it in Pottery
You may have heard the word ‘Verdigris’ used to describe a blue-green colour, or you may have seen it on brass statues or the roofs of buildings.
Verdigris is also a pigment that has been used by artisans for thousands of years. But did you know that Potters can actually make their own Verdigris to use in their ceramics?! Making your own verdigris is a great way to avoid using commercial metal oxides, one of the least environmentally friendly pottery ingredients.
In this episode, I tell you about how I make my own verdigris and how I use it in the pottery at Oxford Clay as a unique eco-conscious pottery colourant.
Learn how to make your own Verdigris and use it in your pottery in this video mini-course: www.oxfordclay.co.uk/shop/p/m...
