This article presents interdisciplinary research carried out at the Escola d’Art i Superior de Ceràmica de Manises, which explores the creation of ceramic pastes from tiger nut waste, integrating art, sustainability, and pedagogy. From an a/r/tographic approach, experimental processes are addressed that link Mediterranean ceramic tradition and contemporary practices. The study, which overlaps with different areas of teaching, promotes creativity, ecological awareness, and student autonomy in the face of contingencies. The results demonstrate the educational and artistic potential of agricultural waste, favoring critical teaching that is materially conscious and connected to the territory and its culture.
