THE PROCESS

All the sculptures are made of our own formula of paper mache that makes it hard and durable.

THE SOAK

We collect paper (magazines, newspaper and pamphlets) from the business's in and around the area. This paper is soaked in water for 30-40 minutes depending on the type of paper.

BREAKING IT DOWN

The paper is then, separated, crushed, strained to get all the the excess water out. Using our secret recipe of ingredients, it is transformed into a paper typed clay.

CLEAN SLATE

Starting off on a clean slate, our creations come to life through adding and shaping the clay.

IMAGINATION GONE WILD

The clay is extremely versatile as you are able to add to it even if there are a combination of dry or wet areas.

TIME HAS COME

Once the shape is complete it is air dried. Depending on the weather and the size, this process could take between 3-4 weeks. If it is green, it is dry, if it is red, it is wet.

FINISHING TOUCHES

Depending on your required finish, the surface can be sanded or left rough, but it it is then pained and finished off with a clear varnish to add durability.
