Make Material Creation: Jesmonite X Carbon Negative

We recently combined Jesmonite with Carbon Negative Aggregate to form a unique building block material excellent for art fabrication projects of any kind. Within our material creation, Jemsonite acts as the binder with the carbon aggregate material.

Jesmonite is a water-based composite material that can be moulded for endless purposes within the realm of Art Fabrication. Jesmonite products can be used for craft, tableware, artwork, sculpture, lighting, furniture, marine vessels, film sets, architectural elements and cladding panels.

Carbon negative is a sustainable construction material created out of a process called Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU). Carbon is sourced from waste materials and rides the wave of the reactivity capabilities of the waste materials used. Creating an accelerated process that results in sustainable manufactured Calcium Carbonate, or Limestone.

Beyond forming a unique and aesthetically appealing pattern from the mixing of the two materials, the Jesmonite X Carbon Negative material is perfect for sculpting that is thermal, weather, fire and moisture resistant. Lightweight, durable and a great substitute for cast concrete and traditional stone.

To create our new material creation we simply added the Carbon Negative pebbles into the mixture of Jesmonite liquid pigments and casted into prepared moulds.
