“Alchemy" الكيمياء
Merriam-Webster dictionary:
noun
“ a power or process that changes or transforms something in a mysterious or impressive way ”
Process: For the past 4 years I have been experimenting with marble pottery, mixing two types of clay to produce a single piece. The combination often creates surprises in the way the two clays come together when dry and after the first firing: merging or separating. I have also been exploring different firing techniques. Fire being at the root of alchemy, the milk firing technique used on this piece is intended to bring out the veins of the clay, magically transforming it into wood.
