Our Workshop and Products |
|
We are a Studio Workshop formed in 1998 in the Province of Granada in Andalucia, Spain, dedicated to hand painted, hand crafted angels, cherubs and nativities.
Our figurines are of exclusively Spanish production. They are made in Alabastrine (or Alabstrite). Alabastrine and its "cousin" Marmoline, is a mixture of alabaster powder (or marble) combined with resin. This is poured into a mould (also hand made) and, once set, the figurine is hand finished. Then it is hand painted and gilded.
When preparing our figurines, we combine the best of the traditional craft techniques and materials with the modern. In this way, we ensure that our angels, cherubs and nativities maintain the charm and quality of yesteryear, but we take advantage of the properties of some of the modern products - stronger paints and finishes that do not spoil with time or sunlight.
We also have a range of angels and cherubs in imitation carved wood (polyresin) which are very light weight and very reasonably priced.
Our nativity sets, to decorate your home or busines at Christmas, are between 14 and 40cm high. You will find classic and hebraic designs and also nativities in poly resin which is break and child resistant!
Important Note
Our angels, cherubs and nativities are all authentic Spanish artesanal products. We never use products or materials in our work which are produced using exploited or forced labour.
