I do scenic carpentry for an events company. We use a hotwire machine to make our larger props. This is a giant tea cup to be used as a table base in an Alice in Wonderland themed event.

Wow could you coat that with something and make it a viable planter?

Yes! We will hard coat the foam. This large tea cup is actually the base for a table. Once it’s hard coated, we’ll put on a glass top. It will also be painted to look like a porcelain teacup.

What happens to this after the event? The venue surely has its own supply of tables so they will not be keeping these and your next party is not likely to be another Alice in Wonderland theme. They're hard to store, so straight to the landfill?

This appears to be made of expanded polystyrene (EPS), the same substance that forward thinking cities are trying to reduce the use of to lessen pollution.

Creatively neat, environmentally bad.

Yes, I understand your concern, however, the company that we buy our raw material from recycles to scrap into new base material. So, actually, the medium and material is fairly environmentally neutral.

Well, I hadn’t put your name on it, Steve, had I? But now, Steve, everybody’s gonna know.😜
