Locally Available Materials for Indoor Fountains; Clay Pots Arrangement as a Technique

Although indoor fountains have many benefits (Hanson in Four (4) surprising health benefits of indoor fountains, 2023), they seem not to be common in homes, hospitals and work places in Ghana. A lot of indoor fountains and their essential parts are imported (Steiner in Indoor fountains, materials and sources. A. Korankye, Interviewer, 2022). For this reason, this studio research took steps to explore the use of a locally available material (Mfensi clay) to manufacture indoor fountains towards making them available to the Ghanaian population. The study was based on studio practice and the descriptive research method; observation was the data collection tool. Analysis brought to light the fact that, Mfensi clay is a viable material for composing pots into functional indoor fountains. It is recommended that producers of fountains team up with the Ministry of Health to promote education and sensitization of society to promote the introduction of indoor fountains into Ghanaian homes. Academics, artists and craftsmen should continually explore locally available materials to produce various fountains, and promote the aesthetic and health therapy aspects, of indoor fountains, for improving the health of Ghanaians.
