Le bleu en poterie: cobalt ou pas?

ooak_creation  Blue is not a colour you’ll often find in my work. In oxidised pottery, blue usually comes from cobalt. But the blue appearing in my work is scarce and feels particularly precious, as it is not due to cobalt but usually a reaction between clay, iron, wood-ashes and titanium.

Cobalt is quite a controversial ingredient for various reasons. It’s a shame because the beautiful place I visited today made me fall in love with blue again. More on this in a different post.
