Mercurius
Art Makes Sense

Mercurius offers a complete, thoroughly tested range of products for the Waldorf schools and kindergartens under the motto:

• Nurturing the 12 senses
• Products for the practicing of the 7 arts

An environment rich in sensory experiences is extremely important for healthy development of children. If such conditions don't exist as a result, for example, of excessive TV-viewing or exclusive use of electronic toys, it can hinder certain abilities or even cause deficits in overall development.
At the initiative of Stockmar and in cooperation with Mercurius NL they have created an international, quality-orientated service-partnership entitled, “Art Makes Sense.”

Their common goal is:
• to provide quality worldwide materials for art lessons at Waldorf schools

Through their working agreements with the companies Stockmar and Choroi, for example, they are committed to continually improving and developing their product quality.

Their Lyra Ferby Pencils can be found in Waldorf and Montessori schools alike.

We proudly claim to purchase all of our Stockmar, Lyra, Choroi and other Mercurius related products from Mercurius and not from outside sources.

	Artemis Natural Plant Dyed Modeling Beeswax -- 8 Assorted Colors Code: MER0A05016 Price: $21.99 IN STOCK Quantity in Basket: none
Artemis Plant Dyed Modeling Beeswax Artemis Plant Colours are meticulously manufactured from all natural colours and beeswax. The natural luminosity of the plant colours is combined with the transparency of beeswax. This results in particularly intense colours. Artemis Beeswax smells of beeswax, warms up in the hand, has pleasant molding characteristics and can always be shaped anew. It contributes in a pedagogical and artistic way to the training of the child's senses. Plant-based colours are vivacious colours. They have a special relationship to sunlight; without it there is no chlorophyll. Unlike colours made from earth, minerals or metals, plant-based colours have a lively and emotive quality. This liveliness is evident in the fact that they are not just composed of one single colour, but also carry their complementary colour within them. Artemis Plant Colours are made from the parts of plants that contain colour such as leaves, flowers or resins and then filtered, dried, finely ground and precipitated with aluminum oxide. With the help of natural raw materials, the colours are processed in such a way that the emerging pigments have a crystalline colour effect that shines from within, thus retaining the light forces of the plant. Each single colour stands out due to its particular luminosity and colour intensity and transparency. Only the best natural plant dyes and raw materials have been used to produce these unique plant-dyed crayons to give you an exceptional artistic experience. As with many of natures colours, these plant colours are softly toned and aesthetically pleasing, inspiring the imagination. Sturdy cardboard box 8 sheets each 40x100x6 mm (1.57x3.94x0.24 inch) 8 Colours: red blue orange yellow green brown pink transparent Subtle differences in colour may occur, depending on the harvest, climate and other environmental influences.

	Main Lesson Book / Blue / Onion Skin / Landscape Code: MER0M20441 Price: $3.99 IN STOCK Quantity in Basket: none
Blue Main lesson book - landscape format with onion skin Mentioned in 'Tommorrow's Child' Magazine This is an all-purpose book for lower and upper grades. For our Classics series we use extremely high quality, heavy, 120g drawing paper. It is excellently suited to wax crayons and coloured pencils as well as ink or indian ink. The pages are separated by onion skin paper to prevent drawings from smudging written work. The covers are made of a heavy 280-300 GSM English cardboard with a leather grain surface, giving an attractive finish. All books are stapled with 3 staples. (If you would like I can also special order the spiral binding and/or the vertical instead of horizontal format. Just call and let me know.) The dimensions are such that the entire sheet can be used and therefore the books are, for the most part, 20% larger than the comparable A4 format. This allows for generous use of the book. Naturally we use chlorine free paper in all our books. Worldwide the most sold style. 32 pages landscape format Available in 6 colors!

The Chalk Pastels contain plant colour extracts bound with beeswax which produces a strong but scumbled effect.
