Paper maché crafting or papier maché crafting

Paper maché crafting constitutes an ideal option as enterprise gifts among other objects representing Argentinian aborigine art. This material comes, in fact, from two Oriental countries: Persia and India. With the time, paper maché crafting products came into the European market by the hands of Venetian businessmen. This material gets its name from the French expression papier maché, which means “chewed paper”, as this was the way it was used by the artisans who originally started working with it. However, in Italy, this crafting technique is known as carta pesta.

In Mecenas Arts and Crafts we have a great variety of paper maché crafting objects. Argentinian artisans create original, beautiful pieces combining aborigine art and originality.
