Escayolas Beansi offers a broad range of materials linked with gypsum and plaster in all its possible styles. It is characterized by an artisanal manufacture, creating artisanal elements on request and also restoring damaged pieces. It is a business belonging to the project Redalh and… the guide of artisans of the Andalusian Institute of Historic Heritage. 

When it is an element of new creation, the first step is to transfer the idea on paper and carry it out in clay. Once in clay, a special mould is manufactured, which, depending on the complexity of the piece will be made out of plaster, polyester or silicon. This last material is very useful because of its elasticity and resistance. 

In restorations the first step is to create a mould which enables the new piece to be identical to the original one. Then, it is manufactured giving it a considerable level of hardness, taking advantage of the products currently on the market for this purpose. An example of this is a technique which involves mixing plaster, white marble gravel and a water-repelling substance and which is generally used for the decoration of façades. 

When the piece to be manufactured does not involve carving of any sort (it is a plain surface), then the process is different. They manufacture a terraja, a special type of profile tool that will be shaped by cutting out the silhouette of the element from a metal sheet reinforced with wood and then plaster will be poured on it while on a flat surface. The die will then be used to obtain the final result with the best finish.
