Ceramics can be durable and last generations, but are typically made from finite natural resources, the extraction of which may damage the environment and communities. Circular Ceramics was Sara’s graduate project proposing the use of waste for making ceramics, as explained in a self-published book, available now in a second edition. Sara is a Green Grad who has been particularly successful in implementing her sustainability ideals and concepts. She won our first Green Grads Earth Award in 2021, has now upscaled Circular Ceramics during a residency with global brand Kevala Ceramics in Bali. The result is elegant handmade tableware made from Bali’s waste, such as glass from rivers; marble and granite factory slurries; and clay/glaze residues from water treatment systems. Circular Ceramics tableware is now selling in Indonesia and can be ordered wholesale in the UK. Explore the ecological and social issues surrounding the ceramics industry and proposed solutions in the Circular Ceramics book.
