22. Agromining Metals: The Future Of Pottery Colour?

from Oxford Clay · host Katherine Tomlinson

Agromining is the practice of using plants to mine metals from the soil. In this episode we explore what agromining is, and how it could be used in the future to create eco-conscious colour in pottery. As plants grow they take up metals in the soil, and store them in their tissues. Scientists can extract these metals by harvesting the plants, drying and burning them and extracting the metals. The hyperaccumulator plants used in agromining can also be used to decontaminate polluted soil.  Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube✨Support the Podcast-------------------------------Resources for Potters:⭐ Pottery Paperback Books available from AmazonFree Pottery Guides:🆓 Download the Free How to Make a Pottery Glaze Workbook (suitable for beginners):🆓 Download the Free How to programme an Electric Kiln for bisque and stoneware glaze firings (includes full kiln firing schedule)------------------------------------
