Under a microscope, it reveals a living landscape shaped by heat, minerals, and time. ## Photos and videos - ![This isn't a distant galaxy, it's a ceramic glaze seen under a microscope.

They are a peek into the mitti (clay) transformation inside my kiln. When I layer glazes, I am essentially managing a chemical reaction that changes under extreme heat. If you have ever wondered why two identical mugs come out with slightly different patterns, it is because of this alchemy. This constant unpredictability is exactly why I love working with clay. When you look at a finished ceramic piece, you see the form. But the real magic happens in the hours of firing at 1220°C. In my studio, we use high-fire stoneware and premium layered Amaco glazes, which are formulated to react with each other and the minerals in the clay body. What you see in these images are the results of that reaction—bubbles, crystals, and textures that form as the glass melts and flows. I don't aim for factory-perfect consistency because that would mean stripping away the soul of the pottery. Instead, I focus on the process of learning how to control, or sometimes just respect, how the glaze behaves. Whether I am crafting a custom mug or a large sculptural vase, the goal is always to create something that tells its own kahani (story). If you join me for a session, you will get to experience this part of the journey yourself—from the initial hand-building to the anticipation of pulling your piece out of the kiln. It is a slow, quiet, and deeply rewarding process that connects you back to the earth. ## About Mitti Space I am Kosha, and Mitti is my home. I don't believe in rigid rules, just listening to the clay. Whether you are here to glaze your first bowl or dream up a custom piece, we will figure out the process together.
