Phrases were written using a 60 ml syringe on a plaster slab, though control was difficult. An improved method involved using a small squeezable bottle with a very fine needle filled with clay slip to write text onto clay slabs (p. 108).

Evidence
"A syringe (60 ml) of clay slip was used to write the phrases on a plaster slab (Fig. 70, right).... I used a small squeezable bottle with a very fine needle filled with slip to write the Arabic text on clay slabs."
Remarks
The calligraphy explored the Nasrid motto 'There is no victor but God' and various poems found in the Alhambra. The author utilized the Andalusi script, noting specific dialect-driven dot placements for letters like fa and qaf (p. 107-108).
