E92 - Can you Colour Clay Using Verdigris?

Some potters create coloured pottery by mixing oxides and stains into the clay itself before firing. A technique that uses this is called agate, where different coloured clays are combined in layers and mixed, to create a design. 

Recently, I’ve been wondering whether this would work with the home-made pigment verdigris created from recycled copper.

In this episode, I talk about some experiments I’ve done adding verdigris to clay at a ratio of 3% and 5% dry powdered verdigris to wet clay.
