A thoughtful gesture, a fun idea, a little \u2018thank-you\u2019.<br \/>\nWho do you know who deserves a little something?<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Customer Reviews:<\/hr>\n<ul>\n<li>Good value for money &#8211; a great range of colours and ideal if you want to experiment with pastels as a medium.<\/li>\n<li>These are fantastic! slightly harder than alot of other pastels i have tried. i really like them and are amazing value for money!<\/li>\n<li>I am new to pastels so bought these to practice .For the price I did not expect too much but I was pleasantly surprised.The pastels were hard enough to scribe and make definitive lines yet soft enough to block in using the flat sides. Ideal for beginners and also used by more competent users in my art class.<\/li>\n<li>Just what I needed to start using pastels an excellent price too!<\/li>\n<li>One of the best soft pastels ive used,compares very favourably with faber castell and carres conte<\/li>\n<li>These were so cheap that it was just an addon to my order. I didnt have much expectations , but I was pleasently surprised. They are good and softer than they seem. Buy them!<\/li>\n<li>I love them! I love the choice of colours and I love how they are half size as it makes me want to try more colours so that my favourite colours don&#8217;t run out to quickly and i don&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;m wasting any. Perfect for anyone from kids to artist to polymer clay makers. I would recommend you.<\/li>\n<li>The quality of the product is very good. I used it for the first time last night and was very pleased with it.<\/li>\n<li>My art club had a pastel workshop with Jenny Keal and I was very pleased to find this set of pastels with a good range of colours at such a reasonable price as I didn&#8217;t want to spend a lot of money in case I didn&#8217;t like it but I was very pleased with my picture and the pastels blended well.<\/li>\n<li>Really pleased with these cute little boxes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Box-pile.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Box-pile-803x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Jacksons Square Soft Chalk Pastels\" width=\"620\" height=\"790\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Box-pile-803x1024.jpg 803w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Box-pile-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Box-pile-620x790.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Box-pile-940x1198.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Box-pile.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Click on the underlined link to go to the current offer on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/Brands-A-Z_All_Brands-Jacksons-Jacksons_Square_Soft_Chalk_Pastels\/c2200_1044_8090_27902\/index.html?&amp;amp;amp;&amp;amp;amp;&quot;%20target=&quot;_blank\">12 Half Stick Jackson\u2019s Square Soft Pastels<\/a>\u00a0on the Jackson\u2019s Art Supplies website.<br \/>\nPostage on orders shipped standard to mainland UK addresses is free for orders of \u00a339 or more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A very nice little red box!
