Recycled Pattern Type
All
of our patterns start with three somewhat dark base
colors and a fourth color which is used to lighten
and brighten the other three. This fourth color is
usually White, but we sometimes also use Tan, Yellow
or Gray for other interesting effects. The finished
product is called a "cane" and can be compared
to a roll of slice-and-bake cookie dough where the
pattern is visible in any cross-section.
RECYCLED starts with junk clay in a particular color scheme, usually leftover from the making of another cane. It is rolled into a jellyroll and surrounded by black and white stripes. The stripey circle is cut, reassembled, reduced and recombined to make a complex square cane with large and small stripe-surrounded swirls.
