Art Sponges for Painting, Pack of 2 (10-12cm)

Dab the day away with our twin pack of art sponges for painting, sustainably sourced and harvested from the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This organic sea origin gives them their naturally occurring strength and density without disintegrating, making them the ideal sponges for artists. Uses for these art sponges include painting, blending, sponging, marbling, pottery, decorating, and for any other arts and crafts pursuits.

Our sponges are carefully curated to measure between approximately 10cm and 12cm each, having been skillfully cut in half from a larger sponge to be used for your artistic pursuits. However, if they are slightly smaller or larger than this you can be safe in the knowledge that your sponges are completely natural and unique!

For Painting, Blending & Crafts

Create a variety of textures and patterns that cannot be replicated with a brush. Perfect with Acrylic, Oil, Watercolour, Fabric Paints, Pottery, Ceramics, Painting & Decorating. Produce unique and beautiful patterns on your ceramic creations with various sponge techniques. The round sides and flat ‘cut’ sides of each art sponge creates different effects and finishes.

Use Wet or Dry

Use the sponges dry for oil and acrylic paints, detailing, fabric painting, pottery and ceramics. Or dampen before use to soften; perfect for dabbing, smudging and watercolours.

Caring for Your Art Sponges

• Rinse sponges with water before first use to soften.
• After using, simply rinse with clean water, squeeze out excess water and leave to dry before you are ready to use again.
• Allow to air dry to avoid mould growth and prolong their use.
• To help revitalise your natural sponges and extend their life, you may also wish to clean them from time to time. To do so, mix a tablespoon of baking soda in a bowl of water and allow them to soak for 15 minutes. Then rinse with clean water as normal and allow to air dry.
• Sponges can be composted when they become brittle or no longer needed due to being naturally biodegradable.

Please note: These sponges are a 100% natural product from the Mediterranean Sea and therefore may contain naturally occurring particles from the sea floor. Whilst we try our utmost to ensure these are removed, please wash and rinse your new sponges thoroughly before first use, squeeze to remove excess water and leave to dry.
