Sejnane Pottery
Learn about Sejnane pottery, a traditional women-led earthenware practice from northern Tunisia recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.


Material Logic
How clay, wood, fiber, and metal respond to heat, humidity, load, and corrosion across Mediterranean environments.


Why Thin Objects Fail Faster
How reduced thickness increases stress concentration, accelerates degradation, and shortens lifespan under Mediterranean environmental conditions.


Metal Corrosion and Surface Treatment
How oxidation, salt exposure, and protective finishes determine metal durability in Mediterranean environments.


Fiber Limits and Basket Geometry
How bending thresholds, weave density, and load distribution determine durable basket geometry across Mediterranean environments.


Olive Wood Movement and Thickness Decisions
How humidity variation, grain direction, and thickness decisions determine stability and durability in olive wood objects.


Why Clay Persists Under Mediterranean Conditions
How mineral stability, thermal mass, and repairability allow fired clay to endure heat, humidity shifts, and abrasion across Mediterranean environments.
