Details:
Objects are produced using natural materials and traditional manufacturing techniques.

The works are done with hemp lime, a mixture of hemp shives, clay and lime as a binding material. Hemp shives are a by-product of the industry and by using these materials they get a value attributed to them again.

The surfaces are sealed by natural sealants and waxes. The traditional craftsmanship of Tadellakt is used in combination with natural pigments to make the objects water-repellent and smooth.
