Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text

Lustre tests were conducted to investigate the metallic sheen and light reflection properties typical of historical Alhambra ceramic traditions (p. 223). The tests were presented to allow for haptic interaction, requiring the viewer to move the tiles to observe the optical effects (p. 223-224).

Evidence

"Finally, I displayed my lustre tests, which I also allowed the visitors to hold, as the tiles need to be moved and reflect the light in order to be able to observe the sheen (Fig. 172, right)."

Remarks

Lustre was one of the key decorative techniques explored to tell the 'making story' of the ceramic research (p. 221). The exhibition context allowed for a haptic experience where the audience could interact with the sheen of the lustre-coated pieces (p. 224).
