An ingredients cache is growing with the preparation of my found materials. Along with processing collected seaweed and wild clay from nearby I’m crushing various rocks, roasting metal ore and acid-washing beach sand.

Seeing how these fire in differing combinations at various temperatures is a time-intensive process. But it’s hugely exciting to see what will occur as I have no real idea of what may, or may not, happen.

Trial tiles to test recipes, drying out before firing.

This is a promising first result from the kiln!
