You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Laidlaw Library, University of Leeds (25th August 2017) 001.jpg|[[Simon Fujiwara]]'s ''A Spire'' (2015), in cast jesmonite, at the [[University of Leeds]]<ref name="mikesmith">((cite web |title=A Spire - Laidlaw Library |url=https://mikesmithstudio.com/projects/a-spire-laidlaw-library/ |website=Projects |publisher=Mike Smith Studio |access-date=22 July 2019))</ref><ref name="trail">((cite web |title=Public Art Trail |url=https://library.leeds.ac.uk/download/downloads/id/323/public_art_trail.pdf |publisher=University of Leeds |access-date=22 July 2019))</ref> |thumb| right]]
'''Jesmonite''' is a composite material used in fine arts, crafts, and construction.  It consists of a [[gypsum]]-based material in an acrylic [[resin]]. It was invented in the United Kingdom in 1984 by Peter Hawkins.<ref name="about">((cite web |title=About |url=http://jesmonite.com/about/ |publisher=Jesmonite |access-date=22 July 2019))</ref>

==Usage==
Jesmonite is a versatile material and is used in several ways.  It is typically used for creating sculptures and other three-dimensional works, but can be used with other materials as a ground for painting.  It can be used as a surface material in building and construction.  It is considered an attractive alternative to other resin-based materials, such as [[polyester]] and [[fiberglass]].  It can be used for [[casting]] and [[laminating]].  

Besides its popularity in sculpture, jesmonite is popular in other areas where [[casting]] and moulding are common, such as architectural stone and plasterwork that has a requirement to be very lightweight, [[taxidermy]], [[archaeology]], and [[palaeontology]].

A 2016 ''[[Financial Times]]'' article described jesmonite's increasing use in interior design, seeing it as a natural-looking alternative to plastic for "high-end" goods.<ref name="lorenz">((cite news |last1=Lorenz |first1=Trish |title=Why Jesmonite is breaking the mould in home design |url=https://www.ft.com/content/472ce1e2-d94d-11e5-a72f-1e7744c66818 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221211231207/https://www.ft.com/content/472ce1e2-d94d-11e5-a72f-1e7744c66818 |archive-date=2022-12-11 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |work=Financial Times |date=26 February 2016 |access-date=2019-07-22 ))</ref>  In 2017, jesmonite was named "Material of the Year" by the [[London Design Fair]].<ref name="london">((cite web |title=London Design Fair Announces the First Material of the Year |url=  https://www.londondesignfair.co.uk/download/file/fid/71274|publisher=[[London Design Fair]] |access-date=22 July 2019 |date=22 June 2017))</ref>

==Properties==
Jesmonite is considered durable, flame resistant, and resistant to impact.  It can be used to fabricate both small and large objects.  When mixed, it accepts colored [[pigments]] and metal powders.  Its surface can be finished to resemble plaster, stone, metal, and wood. 

Jesmonite is considered a low-hazard material.  The finished composite emits no toxic fumes.  The mixing process requires no harmful solvents.  However, the mixing should be performed with rubber gloves, eye protection, and dust mask, and should take place in a well-ventilated area.  Cleanup is performed with water.

==2012 Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant==
In the 2012 [[Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant]], the ornate prow sculptures on the Royal barges ''[[Gloriana (barge)|Gloriana]]'' and [[MV Spirit of Chartwell|MV ''Spirit of Chartwell'']] were carved and moulded in Jesmonite and decorated with [[gold leaf]]. These included dolphins, relief plaques and ''[[Old Father Thames]]''.

==''A Spire''==
''A Spire'' is a cast jesmonite sculpture by British-Japanese sculptor [[Simon Fujiwara]], commissioned to stand outside the new Laidlaw Library of the [[University of Leeds]], England, in 2015. The lower sections incorporate particles of coal, to acknowledge the city's early industries, and the upper stages show cables and leaves reflecting today's digital and natural world. The ((convert|9|m|ft|adj=mid|-tall)) cylindrical form relates to two nearby church spires on Woodhouse Lane.<ref name=mikesmith /><ref name=trail />
