Pastels are a beautiful medium, but transporting them to the studio or into the field has often proposed problems for artists in the past. After all, pastels can be very fragile if not stored and carried correctly, and broken pastels can make a dusty mess in your artbox that isn't fun to clean up.

Teachers were fed up with expensive ways for their students to safely transport their pastels, and we agreed that an affordable solution was needed! Enter the new age of Pastel-Pods, an incredibly inventive way to safely transport pastels anywhere you need in just about any space.

PASTEL-PODS™

Custom made to securely fit the pastel brand that you are transporting. Clear plastic housing allows you to see colors within. Foam lined and divided to exactly fit the pastel of your choice. There are Pods for most major brands and pods may also be used for other brands since virtually every size is represented. Since each is custom designed for a pastel brand they hold varying amounts of pastels.

Now what makes these pods so interesting is that they can be banded together, stacked and arranged any way you want. Best of all they are low in cost so everyone can now safely take their valuable pastels and place them in virtually any backpack, travel case etc. For French easels the Docking Station drawer will allow you to take 9 pods with you using your existing French easel.

PASTEL-PODS DOCKING STATION™
For French Easels - HOLDS 9 PODS!

Now that anyone can afford perfect pastel storage it was on to the next request: providing a low cost way for adapting any French easel for your pastels. These all wood Pastel Pod Docking Station drawers replace your French easel drawer in seconds and provide secure placement of all Pastel Pods. Depending on your needs, you can pod up for one brand or mix your pastels. Made of seasoned beech wood, these drawerss keep Pods from moving about and make transportation a breeze.
