How to Recycle Waste Incense Stick Ash Into a Stoneware Pottery Glaze
Episode 91
In this mini episode of the podcast I tell you about a beautiful greeny-brown coloured stoneware pottery glaze I’ve made with ash recycled from incense sticks.
Rather than throwing the incense ash away after burning, it can be collected and recycled into a pottery glaze coloured only by the natural trace metals in the ash!
The stoneware pottery glaze recipe used in this episode is:
40 parts - Sieved Incense Ash (sieved with a 100 mesh size sieve)
40 parts - Cornish Stone
20 parts - Quartz
You can watch the video version of this episode on YouTube.
