Large Ceramic Paint Water Cup, Paintbrush Holder, Artist Gift, Ceramic Pencil Holder and Dish, Ceramic painting kit
Enrich your painting practice with quality handmade tools that are not only elegant, but also functional and sustainable.

Different enough from mugs, no longer confuse your paint water with tea or coffee. Now paint water gets its own unique vessel. Notches in the paint water cup help hold your brushes between paint colors instead of dirtying or rolling on your desk. A thoughtful, sustainably-packaged & plastic-free present for yourself or the painter in your life.
-Add On: Handmade Artist Paint Brush Soap. Exclusive to Busy Hands Studio, our all natural and vegan soap specially formulated to cleanse and condition brush bristles. Available in 2 scents (eucalyptus/spearmint or lavender/lemon curd). Give your paintbrush the care and attention it deserves. Soap net wt. 1.5 ounces, made in collaboration with Farm Sudz, a local women-owned small business. Separation of soap from hand-thrown vessel is normal.
Each item is crafted by hand and has its own personality and variability. Imperfections are to be embraced.

Ceramic Paint Brush Rest (Set of 4), Handmade Pencil or Brush Holder
This set includes 4 hand-sculpted brush rests. Made in Michigan by us, Sophie and Chase, because we realized that sometimes 1 brush rest isn't enough for a painting session. Our brush rests (or chopstick holders!) are minimalist and don't take up much space, perfect for eliminating excess clutter in the studio. Our brush rests match our palette sets and paint water cups and are perfect for expanding your collection.
Our handmade brush rests ship free when added on to a palette or paint water cup.
Light clay set includes: 4 brush rests
Dark clay set includes: 4 brush rests + 1 mixing dish
Our painting supplies are completely handmade. Ideal use with gouache, acrylic, oil or watercolors & is desk-top friendly. Each palette is carved with love, each cup thrown with care, each mixing dish pinched with pizazz, each brush rest smoothed with precision. We put so much care, time, and effort into each piece. Did you know each piece goes into the kiln 2 times, each firing taking days to fire and cool? Our pieces are environmentally friendly, packed in recycled materials from loving neighbors, clay and glaze coming from Earth's materials. The perfect gift for the painter in your life.
The palette is shipped with a *handwritten note* for easy gift giving to a special someone!
Please note:
-Each piece in my shop is handmade by myself and my partner. We create in small batches, therefore the palette and cup you receive may be slightly varied, but we try our best to maintain uniformity of product and pictures.

-Please wash your item between uses with soap and water. Our ceramics are dishwasher and microwave safe.
Artist Paint Brush Soap
NEW PRODUCT!!!
We are thrilled to release our innovative artist brush cleaner. We are so proud, as you can't find this anywhere else. Artists spend a lot of money and care on their tools -- paints, brushes, palettes, cups, paper, and more. Let's give our tools the care and attention they deserve. Our specially formulated soap gently lathers to clean your bristles and can be kept right on your desk next to your paint water cup. It's made from coconut-oil soap and will support the conditioning of all brushes - whether natural or synthetic.
This soap is formulated exclusively for us by Farm Sudz, a woman-owned business also in Jackson, Michigan. All ingredients are vegan and natural! 1.5 ounces of soap is poured into our Busy Hands vessels. Once you're done with the soap (should last months to a year), you can use the vessel as a paint mixing dish or palette, you can purchase a refill of paint brush soap from us, or you can fill it with m&ms to snack on while painting! The choices are endless. No more plastic, and no more trips to the sink to clean your brushes.
The perfect & most special gift for the artist in your life! Perfect for watercolorists, acrylic painters, gouache painters, and makeup artists.

-Lavender & Lemon Curd

1. We create all handmade items in small batches, therefore the vessel you receive may be slightly varied, but we try our best to maintain uniformity of product and pictures. Each soap is weighed out to 1.5 ounces, so even if the vessel looks slightly different, it's the same amount of soap. Separation of soap from the vessel is normal.
