Papers & prints
​
Vintage botanical art prints are painstakingly cut out by hand and paired with exquisite, handmade papers sourced from around the world. Paper is chosen for it visual interaction with each motif.
​​​
Layer by layer, papers are carefully arranged onto high quality, durable glassware until all surfaces have been completely covered. This step is part of the artistic journey and the composition of each piece will vary greatly in relation to the prints Alex is working with.

​Layered & Lacquered
​
Alex creates a beautiful interplay between the designs on the outside and inside of the glass object, so there's something new to discover from every angle.
​
This careful design work is carried out by hand, which means no two pieces will ever be the same. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
Multiple layers of hardwearing lacquer are applied to each decoupage glassware design.
Each layer of lacquer demands a lengthy drying process to ensure the paper layers receive maximum protection for long-term use in the home.

​​Packaging & Postage
​
Once the piece is completely dry, it is carefully wrapped securely with protective packaging for transport.
Alex regularly ships within the UK and Internationally. Alex can provide international shipping quotes at the time of enquiry.
