Sofft® Tools

Sofft Tools are made from our specially formulated micropore sponge for applying PanPastel Colors. Each tool has a unique shape and size, based on artist’s brushes. They are versatile, re-usable & easy to clean.

“With a Sofft sponge loaded with color I am able to make a swathe on the paper surface which can stand alone or become a layer to hold pencil or stick. The area can be fresh and alive with just the PanPastel alone. More layering is possible if desired." - Sydney McGinley (Master Pastelist)

What is special about our Micropore Sponge?

Our specially formulated micropore sponge holds and releases just the right amount of color.

  • Reusable - durable enough to work with the highly pigmented colors.
  • Easy to clean - wipe on a paper towel between colors. Washable.
  • Non-Abrasive - for a smooth uniform finish.
  • Versatile - use with PanPastel and any water-based medium.

(With inks, acrylics etc. there is no brush stroke. Great for glazes.)
