Pottery glazes:
Pottery glaze sustainability and durability rely on precise glaze chemistry engineering. By optimizing formulations, we at TMC Pottery enhance glaze durability, reducing environmental impact. Sustainable glazes use low-toxicity ingredients and locally sourced materials. Balancing silica, alumina, and controlled flux ratios ensures longevity and wear resistance. These approaches promote lasting glaze resilience and eco-friendly ceramics.
Clays:
Pottery clay sustainability and durability depend on the quality and firing process. Low-absorption clay, fired to the manufacturer’s recommended temperature, ensures resilience and longevity. This method conserves resources by reducing water absorption and potential cracking. Using well-sourced, environmentally-friendly clay promotes eco-friendly ceramics. Proper firing enhances the durability and sustainability of pottery, resulting in long-lasting, high-quality creations.
The ceramics clay we use at TMC Pottery is fired to the manufacturer’s recommended temperature. This ensures a very low absorption rate, as indicated in their own data sheets.
