But what is jesmonite?
Jesmonite is made from a combination of gypsum (a mineral created from sedimentary rock) and water-based acrylic resin. It was originally created in the UK during an experiment with concrete technology. After many successful tests it became primarily used in the construction industry mostly for building high-quality surface materials.
However in recent years the substance has become increasingly popular among artists sustainable businesses and the home crafting community.
This is mostly due to how Jesmonite is considered safe sustainable and very easy to use especially when compared with other alternative materials (like fibreglass polyester plaster concrete or resin).
