This piece is part of a limited two-week release supporting Loong Boonmee and the Ban Pa Ao brass casting community. Proceeds beyond production costs will go directly toward medical care and helping stabilize the workshop during this transition.

Heavier in scale, this bottle opener reflects the enduring qualities of solid cast brass. Made using traditional lost wax casting, each piece begins as a wax model before being transformed through heat and molten metal into a permanent form. The patterned surface and weight speak to the material knowledge carried through generations in Ban Pa Ao.

• Material: Solid cast brass
• Origin: Ban Pa Ao, Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand
• Process: Traditional lost wax casting
• Finish: Natural brass, hand-finished, unsealed
  

Note: Each $75 contribution will be sent one bottle opener. 

Fulfillment
Production will take place immediately following the close of this two-week release. Orders will ship in mid-May from New York. If you are based in Thailand and would like to support, please message us on IG @pernbaan.

Additional Information
As each piece is cast and finished by hand, slight variations are part of the process and make each object unique. After covering production and shipping costs, proceeds will go directly toward supporting Loong Boonmee and keeping the workshop supplied with brass, wax, and clay.

Thank you for your support of this community.
