We should take no joy or satisfaction from creativity that involves destruction or exploitation. All our decisions have environmental and social impact and we have ignored this for too long now!

'Malahide' and 'Jonquil' by @farstud.o “Cooked earth or terracotta, as we know it, is one of the oldest building materials. The colour derives from the heating of the natural pigmentation in the earth. Earth is a different colour around the world and for millennia, we’ve used it to make pigment – usually those that are rich in iron ore and give us red and yellow ochres. These earth pigments are ideal for creating the most pleasing and flattering blush pinks, so essentially terracotta and blush derive from the same source, which is why they can be used together so successfully.” Edward Bulmer read more Jonquil Order a Sample 100 60 40 20 Malahide Order a Sample Spanish White Order a Sample Wanting to learn more about colour?
