Recycled papier-mâché pot
Recycled papier-mâché pot
Uathúil (meaning unique in the Irish language).
A recycled papier-mâché pot by The Pear in Paper.
Using recycled fibres that have been letterpressed
allowing for this colourful speckled finish.
The process of handcrafting each recycled paper pot
takes two weeks from start to finish.
I have a passion for the environment and
it is thrilling to be able to
reuse every piece of paper / card from my workshop.
When I’m in the make-ready stage of letterpress printing,
I have card that I use several times over
to test alignment and colour.
I store these cards and recycle them into a paper paste
and then into these
highly textured recycled papier-mâché pots!
Size: Height 16cm x 11cm Width, including the handle
(there may be slight variations in size as
each one is hand made)
Note:
The pot is for decorative purposes only and
should not be submerged in water
