Upcycled Glaze
Upcycled Glaze
The base glaze is recovered from a local studio’s rinse bucket that would otherwise be destined for landfill. It is processed into a stable and food safe glaze. This keeps heavy metals and minerals out of the water and waste systems. Variations in the source supply result in unique and evolving colour palettes.
- Sustainable design.
- Organic, west coast feel.
- Food and dishwasher safe quality.
- Unique, functional art.
ABOUT
Sydnie is an educator and ceramic artist living on the unceded territory of the T’Sou-ke Nation in Sooke, B.C. She obtained a Bachelor of Education at the University of Victoria with a focus on ceramics and geography. Sydnie also completed a Certificate of Fine Arts at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, B.C. There, she discovered the beauty of plant cells under a microscope. She began to meld her passion for ceramics with science by carving the cellular structure of plants into clay. Carved and stamped with botanical imagery, her work is tactile and evokes a sensation of being unearthed.
