#02 Botanical Vase
US$40.12
A medium size Stoneware & Obvara vase printed directly with plant material, this vessel can also function as a planter. Part of my practise as a maker is to work with different techniques and materials, and in the process cross the boundaries that exist between them. The vase is sealed with Elements Air that protects the delicate botanical prints with an industrial grade food safe nanotech coating. Elements Air is completely invisible to the eye once cured and does not affect the look and feel of the unglazed surface.
Unglazed surface sealed with Elements Earth: An industrial strength nano-technology permanent coating.
Elements Earth is a natural food safe solution with anti-bacterial properties for use on any smooth unglazed fired ceramic surface. Due to it’s unique chemical formulation, it forms a highly durable layer that protects delicate surface treatments like prints made with plant material on ceramics. This product chemically bonds with the ceramic surface and once dry forms a low sheen, matt 3d matrix on the surface. It is highly water repellant, oil and fat repellent and anti-bacterial. It is also alkali, acid , alcohol and chemical resistant and has a high UV resistance as well. As the success of this unique sealer is reliant on the conditions of application, please see the FAQ and T&C’s for product information & application.
