Martin Ernegg, molecular sculptor

Martin began his work as a molecular sculptor in 1986 in Austria. His work included creating building materials from cardboard and paper and cloth. Returning to his home, Australia, Martin created  Hempstone by grinding hemp mache into its individual molecules and then realigning the molecules so their ‘faces’ are perfectly aligned.  Martin has now begun grinding raw hemp bast into Hempstone and molding artifacts of great practical use and beauty. In association with NRHGC Martin is building a workshop to make Hempstone artifacts and share his knowledge with the farmers who will take his work further.

All about Hemp!

Hemp can sequester up to 20 tonnes of carbon dioxide per hectare each year, more than any other crop or woodland. Cultivating hemp for its flowers, edible seeds, fibres and hurds, and with the right know-how and tools, we can use this amazing plant to create thousands of high quality products. Hemp helps us free our minds, make healthy food, keep us warm, build a house, maybe even help save the world. This will be a great chance to meet farmers who are discovering just why Cannabis used to be the most grown plant on the planet.
