Welcome to Studio Fu: Create Useful Watercolor Painting Tools with Thermoplastic  Sounds strange, I know, but this beginner-friendly class is both fun and insanely useful. No prior sculpting experience is necessary, and by the end of this class, you'll have a collection of personalised thermoplastic tools for your watercolour practice that will instantly become your painting toolkit essentials.


In this class, you'll explore the magic of Hand-Mouldable Polymorph Thermoplastic Beads (I’ll explain what that is, no worries).

We'll transform these versatile beads into a range of simple yet incredibly useful tools, starting with:

+ Craft Creative Brush Cleaning Pucks: 
Learn how to create bespoke brush cleaning pucks to fit your favourite rinse water jars perfectly. You’ll shape and texture these little wonder pucks to effectively and gently remove paint residue while keeping your brush bristles in top condition. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without them!

Design Your Dream Brush Holders: 
Desk and jar top brush holders to keep your wet brushes organised and in place. No more rolling around, and no more accidental paint marks (I can’t be the only one to almost ruin a painting - or a sleeve! - with a wet brush gone wandering).
Tidy, functional brush holder options for your peace of mind await!

And finally, the solution you never think about until something goes wrong…

Never Lose a Cap Again
Say goodbye to the frustration of missing - or split/cracked - paint tube caps! Learn how to create custom, secure caps for your metal watercolour or gouache paint tubes, ensuring your paints stay fresh and protected. These caps are threaded to fit perfectly, and you can use this same method to protect your oil paints too! (I keep a spare cap in my sketch bag just in case. Trust me, you only have to lose one down a street drain or in the woods while you’re out sketching…)

The clever tools you’ll create are perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike, and I just know you’ll start looking around for other things to fix with your new polycaprolactone (AKA: PCL Thermoplastic) moulding skills. After all, this class started when I wanted an inexpensive way to repair my favourite water bottle, and here we are!
