Eggshell and natural lacquer are traditional decorative materials in East Asia. We preserve the original technique of hand applied and hand polished eggshell and lacquer. 8 layers of natural lacquer are applied to the substrate, each layer dried and polished. Then the eggshell is inlaid in a layer of wet lacquer. Another 10 layers of lacquer are applied, dried and polished. The form and pattern of the eggshell result from different methods of working the eggshell. The eggshell may be toasted over a coal brazier for different shades of brown; it may be inlaid concave or convex; and it may be crushed, separated, chopped or sprinkled. The lacquer may be coloured and textured to give different effects and depths. The combinations of these techniques give endless possibilities.
