Jesmonite: the best friend of creators who love the planet (and beautiful things)

By Marie, Dotty Joyous Things, on 03/02/2025

At Wimzzi, we love things that are beautiful, well made… and kind to the planet.

Have you seen those lovely pieces with soft shapes, powdery colours, or marble and terrazzo effects? Chances are, they’re made of Jesmonite.

But what exactly is Jesmonite?


A funny name, but a serious eco-friendly material

Jesmonite is a water-based composite made with natural gypsum (a kind of plaster stone) and acrylic resin.

The result? A strong, durable material with no toxic solvents or chemical smells.

It was invented in the UK in the 1980s and is now loved by artisans and designers all over the world. Unlike epoxy resin or cement, Jesmonite does not release harmful fumes. It’s safe for your lungs, your home, and the planet. That’s why it’s perfect for creators who want to work consciously – and for people who want to shop sustainably, without losing style.


And who better to talk about it than a passionate maker?

Let’s hear from Dotty Joyous Things, a proud Wimzzi artisan who loves this ethical and beautiful material.

What I love about Jesmonite is the freedom it gives me: I don’t have to choose between beauty and ethics. It’s soft to work with, safe for me… and kind to the planet.

Why I chose Jesmonite – sustainable beauty with a creative twist

As a craftswoman, I was looking for a material that was healthy, strong, and inspiring. With Jesmonite, I found so much more. It’s a material that lets me fully express my creativity while staying true to my values: transparency, precision, respect for myself and for others.

  • Thanks to its fine casting quality, I can play with shapes, textures and delicate details.
  • Jesmonite is solid and strong – perfect for creating pieces that last.
  • I love personalising each piece with Dot Art and the endless variety this artistic technique allows.
  • And most of all, I work in a healthy space – no toxic fumes, no solvents, no endocrine disruptors.


What I offer with my creations:

Handmade decorative and everyday objects, made to last and bring warmth into your home. Each piece is unique and tells a story with a touch of poetry and joyful dotty vibes.


Why I love working with Jesmonite:

  • Low environmental impact
  • Safe for health
  • No harmful substances
  • Stylish and sensory
  • Ethical, artisanal and local


If you feel connected to my creations, I invite you to explore them on Wimzzi.

It might just be the start of something special.
