I decorate all of my pottery with natural pigments that I collect and process myself from nature. In this video I show you how I go about finding pigment minerals. Starting on my computer doing research, identifying the best places to reach. Then out in the field hiking around looking for the mineral pigments that make the best natural pottery paints.
