Erbacea LAB, the beauty of simplicity
Erbacea LAB is an artistic Ceramic and Cyanotype project with a Botanical Theme.
It was born in our little artisan workshop and ceramic laboratory in Italy (Santarcangelo di Romagna).
Our stubborn passions are botany, the color blue, unique and unrepeatable things made by hands!
Ebacea LAB has two hearts that beat in unison: ceramics and cyanotype.
Cyanotype is an ancient photographic technique in which, thanks to the sunlight, each object placed on the sheet leaves behind the white imprint of its shape, on a characteristic Prussian blue background.
Each print is unique and unrepeatable, as the arrangement of the objects, the light conditions and the texture of the wet chemicals are variables that cannot be replicated.
We also produce traditional ceramic objects characterized by impressions of real plants and flowers. A different plant is crushed each time on the soft clay, so that each object is unique and unrepeatable.
The imprint left by the flower or leaf is then patiently painted by hand with cobalt blue.
We are Arianna and Valentina, the hearts and Hands behind Erbacea LAB 💘🤲🏻
