Welcome to PastelArtAdmiral &KinstoneCrafts
Our mission is to create functional tools for artists that unite traditional craftsmanship with modern design. Using wood, ceramics, and a variety of other materials, we create thoughtful products that fill gaps in the market or reimagine familiar products in fresh innovative ways. The result is a collection of studio essentials that are not only practical, but also inspiring - built to support creativity every single day
