making a paper mache object

paper is soaked in water for several days until it disintegrates. the soaked paper is added to other organic plant material and mixed to form a pulp, which goes into a mould for 2-3 days. Once dry, the shape is cut away from the mould in two halves and then glued again. The surface is coated with glue and gypsum, rubbed smooth with a clay stone and pasted with layers of tissue paper. A base color is painted on, and a design is drawn by hand .The object is then sandpapered or burnished and is finally painted with several coats of lacquer.

our products are mostly handmade. the fabrics are hand loomed – 100% cotton which has been hand spun, hand dyed or block printed. this process takes 2-3 weeks before the final product is completed – this is what we call “slow fashion”.

wood products are all hand carved.

due to hand dyeing, carving and printing please find perfection in any minor imperfections in the colours and finish. 

we have tried to represent actual colours as much as possible for each product however colours may vary ever so slightly from the pictures shown, due to photography and lighting as well as screen display quality across different devices.
