Men al ARD من الارض¶
Using local clay in making jewelry pieces.
This project aims to raise awareness to the importance of making good use of our resources and taking our projects a step towards sustainability.
first I went on a road trip to the old site of Jordan mining company - Fuhais/Mahis and collected Grade 1 Kaolin, I soak the sample in water to wash over the salt and leave soil to settle so when water comes up to the top I pour it away, I did this for 3 times then used a ceramic ball mill machine to mix the watery mud, let it dry on a fabric then it is ready to be used.
This clay is from Jerash
