‘In the UK, 29 million tonnes of excavation waste is sent to landfill each year'.

"Circulating construction waste into the hands of artists".
Our Mission
Currently, only half of all excavation waste produced in the UK is recovered for secondary uses. At
Golden Earth Studio, we see an opportunity to change that.
Our focus is to make by-products from construction sites accessible. Replacing typical commercial
clay bodies that may be made from quarried or mined minerals, imported from various locations.
Our actions can drastically reduce the CO2 associated with the transportation of waste and virgin
raw materials, preserve our natural resources and reduce the volume of waste contributing to
landfills.
Founders
Golden Earth Studio was established by Sara Howard, a
ceramicist and sustainable materials developer, and Gabriel Lau,
founder of Golden Earth Developments. The partnership began
at a London ceramic atelier, where shared challenges in working
with the others industry formed a mutual ambition for creating
systemic change and mitigate the ecological impact of waste.
