The Venera Paper Mache Vase is handcrafted from sustainable papier mch and has a buff coloured limewash-like matte finish. We love the organic feel this piece adds, its double looped handles on each side adding a sense of primitive style. We make it from recycled newspaper thats mixed with water then chalk and tree sap crystals are added to turn the substance into a clay-like material. The pulp is kneaded into chapati-like forms, then rolled and moulded into the sculptural objects we love. There is no firing, no power used, and the process is entirely eco-friendly. Each piece will have subtle differences in finish and these variations are part of the handmade appeal. Porous in nature, papier mach should not be exposed to liquids.
