Super Seconds Festival 1st & 2nd October! ⋆

Come back on 1st October to shop the sale!

What will be available in the Super Seconds Sale?

These are one of a kind pieces, made especially for the sale using leftover Jesmonite material. Each piece is totally unique and results in a beautiful Jesmonite homeware piece whilst also saving excess waste going to landfill!
These pieces were produced in the design phase of product development. They are perhaps colour tests or technique trials that didn’t quite make the cut for the final collection. These are heavily discounted.
These pieces are perfectly imperfect - in other words they may have one or two more air bubbles than I would like, don’t have enough pigment or terrazzo chips or are slightly imperfect. All of this will be described to you in the description, these pieces are also heavily discounted.

What is Jesmonite?

Jesmonite is an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional resin-based products. It consists of a gypsum composite and acrylic resin polymer, making it a lightweight substitute to cast concrete. It is fire resistant and we seal all our pieces with a surface sealant to makes them UV resistant and help protect against heat and moisture.

About Astral Tides

Hi, I’m Charlie the gal behind Astral Tides. I love space so it evidently became the inspiration behind the whole brand. From planet pendants to solar system trinket tiles and Saturn shaped trinket trays, the colours and shapes all stem from my curiosity about the universe we live in, and I want to share that through what I make. I started the brand during lockdown, having a creative outlet was important for me to not only use my creative skills but to help my mental health during a time that was tough for everyone.

Creativity, curiosity and sustainability are at the heart of all of my pieces, I like to explore the capabilities of the materials I work with. I try to push the boundaries and come up with new making techniques (and ultimately exciting new pieces!) whilst always being mindful of any environmental impact my work may have.
