Large Studio Pastel Box - (Holds 600 half sticks of pastel) - No Pastels Included
This handmade studio pastel box was designed and made by me at my home in Ireland. The box measures 800 x 400 x 31mm and 27mm internal depth or 31.5 x 15.5 x 1 inches and 1 inch internal depth, there are 5 compartments that each measure 153mm or 6 inches across.
At full capacity this box will hold approximately 600 half sticks or about 360 full sticks, or about 400 Terry Ludwig pastels but the exact capacity will depend on the brand.
The box has an optional 2mm thick clear acrylic or white opal acrylic lid that is not attached to the box and sits on top to keep the pastels safe and clean.

Inserts are fitted snugly to each compartment, these have been specially designed by me for this purpose. These inserts keep the pastels clean, safe and neatly organized.
There are three types of inserts available;
1. Standard Inserts - Custom designed from black foam, this insert type will comfortably fit most round brands of pastel including full and half sticks of Unison, Sennelier, Schminke, Mungyo, Rembrant, Daler Rowney, Girault, Pastell, Neopastel, Jacksons, Faber-Castell, Round Art Spectrum, Richeson Handrolled, etc. The ridges on this type of insert are 16mm or 0.62 inches apart.
2. Alternate Inserts - Custom designed from black foam, this type of insert is for those with all or a significant portion of larger or squared pastels such as Terry Ludwig’s, Great American, Blue Earth, Mount Vision, Square Art Spectrum, Grande Sennelier, Diane Townsend, etc. The ridges on this type of insert are 20mm or 0.79 inches apart. This type of insert will cause the capacity of the box to drop by 1/6th.
3. Memory Foam Inserts - This insert type is 7mm cream coloured memory foam and is flat without ridges, this offers the ability to have any packing density and accommodate any size of pastel.
The intention is for each of the 5 compartments to hold one of the following; Neutrals, Warm/Cool Blues, Warm/Cool Greens, Purple/Red and Orange/Yellow but as you can see on my Instagram, people organize them in all sorts of ways. The box works better when not filled completely to capacity, I personally find 70-80% capacity to be comfortable.
The box is made of hardwood and the base from 3mm MDF.
