AT HOUSE OF SAVAGE WE STRIVE TO MAINTAIN A ‘HANDMADE TECHNIQUES USING TRADITIONAL MATERIAL’ ETHOS. HYDROSTONE, DESIGNED FOR THE REPLICATION OF FINE ART OBJECTS, IS A GYPSUM/CEMENT FORMULATION TWICE THE HARDNESS OF ROMAN CONCRETE. IT’S PRODUCTION, LIKE ANY CEMENTITIOUS MATERIAL, DEMANDS HEATING TO HIGH TEMPERATURES BUT IT REMAINS AN ESSENTIALLY ORGANIC MATERIAL THAT, UNLIKE PLASTIC RESINS, IS BIODEGRADABLE. HOWEVER, LIKE PORCELAIN, IT CAN CHIP OR BREAK IF DROPPED.
