Recycling in the studio

In the studio, all the clay is recycled. As long as it is not fired, it goes back into the shaping cycle. For earthenware and stoneware, once dry, rehydrated, remalaxed, the clay can be reused in throwing. We often make half new clay and half recycled clay.

For porcelain, I recycle it into casting clay, still half recycled half new clay.

I recycle about one large garbage can of each kind per year that mean 3 large garbage cans.

As for the sludge collected in the sink ponds, I unfortunately do not recycle it because it contains oxides or soap. This sludge is collected in a large garbage can. I leave the mud dry and then it goes to waste with the paintings.

 

Talmont store : "Un océan d'idées"

Since April I am in a new shop in Talmont sur Gironde with 27 other designers. There is a bit of everything: illustrations of the region, another raku ceramist, bags of fabric or synthetic leather, jewellery of course, Tshirt… In short, an ocean of creations, one could say.

This shop is always animated by the super dynamic team: Céline and Marianne.
It is almost 100 m² and it is in the main street of Talmont. There is something to feast on!

The shop opens every day from April to the end of October. It’s worth a visit!

Toche et Nono ce sont des produits authentiques mais jolis, solides mais tout doux pour la peau, et surtout, faits avec amour ! » peut-on lire sur leur site.  Ils fabriquent des savons, des shampoings, des déo, des après shampoings… Le déodorant est vraiment sympa avec son bâtonnet, il est pratique, il tient longtemps et il sent bon. J’ai testé pour vous !
