Sandstone Coasters - $35

Sandstone Coasters come in a set of four with black metal rack. Each Coaster comes with cork bottom. Choose up to four different photos. (You may choose 1, 2, or 4 photos for your set).

These are very unique Sandstone Coasters where  each 4″ diameter coaster in the set depicts a different design  as photographed by this artist. The sets can be themed or not, it’s your choice.

They can be used for hot or cold liquid beverages and are easily wiped off with a damp cloth for cleaning. 

The Photos are absorbed into the sandstone using a heat transfer process referred to as sublimation. The photos are computer printed onto a transfer paper which is, then, combined with the blank coaster and placed in a heat press. After heating and then cooling all paper is removed and the photo has become part of the coaster itself. The only thing which will destroy the photo would be breaking the coaster by dropping on a hard surface.

Trivets - $30

Trivets are designed with a 4×4 inch Sublimated Ceramic Tile with photo of your choice from our shop gallery. This ceramic tile is scratch resistant and heat resistant up to 400 degrees.

Size with frame is 7 3/4 x 6 1/2  inches.

The sublimation process is completed by this artist and includes printing artists  photograph on transfer paper, wrapping that transfer around the tile and placing it in a heat press set at 400 degrees. It is cooked there for 5 – 6 minutes, removed and allowed to cool. During this heating process, the ink is converted to a gas and is absorbed into the stone. Once cooled the paper is removed and the photograph has been beautifully transferred to the tile.

The trivet frame is made of steel and painted black. It is sturdy enough to hold a relatively heavy pot which has just been taken from your oven to your table. This pot can be as hot as 400 degrees in temperature when it is placed on the trivet.

If it becomes soiled, it is completely submersible in mild soap and warm water. Putting it in the dishwasher is not recommended.  Trivets can be hung on the wall or placed in a stand as a decorative item when not in use.
