Old newspapers are first soaked in water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2. The wet newspapers go through a machine and smashed into pulp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3. The pulp is mixed with crushed limestone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4. Natural tree resin functions as the adhesive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5. Resin crystals are melted in warm water and the liquid substance is added in the mix\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6. Pulp, chalk \u0026amp; resin are mixed and pushed through an avegar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7. We then have the right substance and consistency, our base material.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom base material to final design:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1. Blocks of clay are pounded with a wooden mallet into sheets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2. The clay sheet is laid into a mould and pressed into the sides\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3. Two half moulds are closed together, wrapped with a plastic band\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4. From the inside extra clay is pushed into the connecting joints\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5. The mould is left for 1-2 days drying in the air\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6. The mould is opened and excess clay is cut off \u0026amp; small holes are filled by hand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7. The model is now further left to dry for another 3-5 days in the open air\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8. Finally it is sprayed with a sealer so no colour comes off when handling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe full process consists of only 2 important items: the use of natural materials \u0026amp; skilled labour, exactly the 2 things Raw Materials loves the most! Any new design is firstly made in plaster of Paris. This goes into a block of gips. This is cut in half and these are the 2 moulds. Gips moulds can only be used 10 to 12 times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Apart from dusting with a dry cloth, no maintenance is needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note that the items from this collection are not waterproof.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper mache\/chalkpowder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSize: 21x18xh32cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour: Sandy White \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raw Materials","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56896292585816,"sku":"BSST00122","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/2444\/6134\/files\/43CD57398A3E6EECAD7E0EFB74E0DDB978FCA567.jpg?v=1773408984","url":"https:\/\/happinezibiza.com\/products\/vase-tamy-copy","provider":"Happinez Ibiza","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
