These lightweight and sturdy beechwood cases would suit any travelling artist. They are empty and ready to fill with all your pastels!<\/h5>\n
\n

The measurements of these lovely wooden cases will exactly fit the foam inserts from the Jackson’s Handmade Soft Pastels<\/a>, which come in long boxes of 14. Any size pastel will fit in this case, if you use them as they come. But they only have foam on the bottom of each section. We wanted to add foam inserts for holding individual pastels and it made sense to use the foam inserts that already come in the Jackson\u2019s Handmade pastels sets. So we made a slight adjustment to the size of the compartments so that if you buy a set the whole foam insert just needs to lifted from the cardboard box to fit in a section of the box.
\nIf you wish to use many types of pastels, like many pastel painters do, you would just not add a foam insert to some of your sections.<\/p>\n

The Jackson’s Large Pastel Travel Case is divided into 10 handy storage sections and the Small Pastel Travel Case has 6 sections, all lined along the bottom with foam. The two melamine boards are placed on top and secured with little levers, to keep the pastels in place. As pastels come in different sizes the fit will be different – Unison Soft Pastels regular size, are the widest and the boards fit snugly on top and prevent any rolling. All other makes of pastels are slimmer and there will be some sideways movement.<\/p>\n

Each attractive wooden box has a carrying handle for pastel painting on the go, but they work equally well as storage for your pastel collection in your studio.<\/p>\n
