Many modern potters are now using sustainable materials when they create their pots and dishes. One popular material is local clay, which is clay sourced from nearby areas instead of being shipped from far away. This is better for our planet because it helps to reduce pollution caused by transportation.
Another important aspect is the use of eco-friendly glazes. Glazes are the shiny coatings that make pottery colorful and beautiful. Eco-friendly glazes are made from natural materials that are less harmful to the environment compared to regular glazes.
Using these sustainable materials, like local clay and eco-friendly glazes, means that potters can make beautiful art while also taking care of our Earth. This movement in pottery helps everyone to think about how they can be more conscious of the environment and support a healthier planet.
