Smalti Australia is proud to support the Butterfly Effect Community Mosaic Project in Australia by suppling the materials to create a Butterfly using Smalti.

The Butterfly Project, based in Cairns is inviting mosaic artists around Australia to contribute one or more pieces, focusing on butterflies and hearts. These symbols of hope, change, rebirth and earthly beauty, will showcase kindness in action and leaving a lasting legacy to be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.

To support people wanting to create a butterfly for this project, we are offering the following kits.

You will need a wheeled nipper to cut Smalti, which is not included in the kit, the Montolit Nippers are also available in this store.

For any questions regarding the project and asking questions regarding collection points please refer to the Butterfly Project organisers below:
