I need materials I can't easily find elsewhere
Industrial suppliers sell by the pallet. Craft stores sell what moves. Between them sits a gap: professional-grade materials in quantities a single person can actually use. That gap is what this is for.
Four kinds of material
This is the one part of Lucullion that feeds the others: a pigment serves Craft, an archival sleeve serves Collecting, a metal blank serves DIY.
- Natural
- Fossils, minerals, gemstones, shells, exotic woods. Real specimens, documented, in sizes that suit a project rather than a museum.
- Creative
- Rare pigments, specialty papers, leather panels, archival fabrics, metal blanks. The materials that change what a finished piece feels like.
- Conservation
- Museum-grade archival products, display and mounting materials, restoration consumables. What institutions use, sold to individuals.
- Scientific and educational
- Geological and botanical samples, teaching collections, identification sets. For classrooms, and for anyone who learns by holding the thing.

The Workbench
Or tell us what nobody will sell you
Minimum order quantities stop more projects than budgets do. If there is a material you have wanted where the smallest available amount is fifty times what you need, that is precisely the problem this exists to solve.
