HOW WERE THESE BEAUTIFUL OBJECTS MADE?



I've been getting questions about the gorgeous pieces by Tina Frey.  Are they blown glass?  Fired clay?  Well, dear Mirthlings, here is your answer.

They are resin! That's right, resin.  Each object starts with a clay design, which leads to a handmade mold.  The molds are used to cast the pieces in food safe resin, so you can feel secure filling that beautiful white bowl with apples.  The pieces are fired in small batches, making each object vary slightly in color, making each one different.  Once the pieces are removed from the mold, they are hand sanded for that lovely finish unique to the process.  These objects are lovingly made, and it shows.

Got any other questions?  Give us a shout, or like us on Facebook for all the latest updates.
