Uathúil (meaning unique in the Irish language).
A series of recycled papier-mâché pots 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
recycled papier-mâché pots!

Size: Height 15cm x 15cm Width
(there may be slight variations in size as
each one is hand made)

Note:

The pot is suitable for many uses (such as a planter).
The interior has been lightly sealed and includes a
natural bio-degradable coir lining,
however, it is not intended as a water container / vase
and it should not be submerged in water.
