Introduction to Coasters

Discover the world of beer coasters! Once mere table protectors, they've evolved into collectible art forms, reflecting brewery history and craftsmanship.

Select your base: cork is classic, offering natural traction and absorbency. Alternatively, ceramic tiles add weight and elegance, and cardboard allows for creativity and ease.

Your design can feature anything from brewery logos to personal artwork. Use waterproof markers or printouts, ensuring your creation withstands condensation.

For cork or cardboard, a craft knife makes precise cuts. For ceramic, a tile cutter is needed. Aim for a standard 4-inch diameter.

Seal your coaster with a clear, waterproof sealant. This preserves the design and prevents damage from moisture, enhancing the coaster's longevity.

Consider rubber or felt backing to prevent scratches on surfaces. Adhesive sheets or hot glue can secure these materials to your coaster.

Learn proper care to extend your coaster's life. Avoid dishwashers for handmade coasters; instead, wipe with a damp cloth and let air dry.

The world's largest beer coaster measures over 20 feet in diameter, showcasing an extraordinary display of craftsmanship and creativity.
