We look after our environment
At AMS Art Studio we always strive to be environmentally friendly and considerate of the impact we make on our planet!
Our ceramics studio strictly adheres to the following eco-friendly practices in order to conserve natural resources and protect our planet from exploitation:
1. All clay waste is reduced through as system of reuse and recycle; our pugmill machine enables us to recycle, reclaim,
de-arate and re-hydrate our clay so that we can reuse it!
2. All students are taught how to re-use and reclaim clay during the making process.
3. Any unwanted works which have been fired, will be donated to our mosaic classes, where they become transformed into new mosaic artworks.
4. Our sinks are fitted with a special clay-trap to prevent clay being added to our waterways.
5. All staff and students are taught to be mindful of water consumption.
6. Separate waste accordingly to regulations
7. We repurpose old household items such as containers, plastic bags and cloths. Nothing gets thrown away!
