TO GET ‘perfectly imperfect’ pottery art, the wood-fired kiln at the Balik Pulau International Art Village in Penang has to be built with specific earth and clay brought over from Ipoh.

This special mix serves as the mortar to hold the bricks of the kiln together and Penang just does not have that kind of soil.
