Original Recipe Text

The research involves the 'revival of the traditional reduction lustre technique' (p. 235). This involves the application of 'traditional lustre pigments' followed by a 'reduction firing' process (p. 235). The work is specifically situated within the context of 'Middle Eastern ceramic artist' practice and 'Gulf countries' (p. 235). Further investigation into traditional ceramic methods used at Alhambra, including 'lustre, zillij, and curda ceca' (p. 236), is proposed to gain new insights via digital technologies.

Evidence

"This research contributes to the revival of the traditional reduction lustre technique in Gulf countries, especially as the author is the first contemporary Saudi female ceramic artist involved in the exploration of traditional lustre pigments and their reduction firing."

Remarks

This work explores the intersection of traditional ceramic decoration and modern creative practice (p. 229). The author identifies as the first contemporary Saudi female artist to explore these specific traditional lustre pigments (p. 235). Future research aims include understanding the 'workings behind' the application of high-energy tools to ceramic bodies in collaboration with 'material and chemistry engineering experts' (p. 237).
