relic | tea scoop

I'm so pleased to share our new collaboration with our dear friend Thom (@relic.form)

These are the first Artefacts produced from Relic’s initial research into tea, 
a limited series of tea scoops made in reciprocity with nature and the practice of tea.

This tea scoop has been made with Otway Messmate Wood (Eucalyptus Regnans)

21cm x 6cm

Wood is a living medium, subject to it’s nature and environment always,

In reciprocity to the might of our trees and the practices that come with burning incense these pieces have been carved to last an age but it’s natural for wood to dry out through time, slowing down the drying out of these wood artefacts by working with ancient wood preservation practices and within its timeline caring for them by applying wood oils and waxes, as a result of the preservation technique the incense holders are water resistant and washable, although avoid soaking in water for long periods and they’re fire resistant, though avoid storing directly by a heat source for long periods of time. We trust the handmade process that with the quality and care taken to piece together these artefacts that they will serve your space for a long time to come.
