21st July : August 2007 Catalogue and Price List
Our latest retail Price List is now available for download from the Home Page. There are some new products added (eg. CD Booklets, CelShapes (Buttons) mould etc.), and some have been discontinued (eg. styrofoam supplies are gradually running down and because of new regulations, we are not going to be able to import this product into the UK in future!). Some prices have increased (mainly Cake Stands and CelCovers) and some prices have been reduced (eg. CDs and CD Booklets). Our Postage/Carriage rates have also been updated.
Please note that (a) "out-of-stock" items will not be visible on the Online Shopping pages, but they will re-appear when new supplies are received and (b) we do not take a credit/debit card payment until your order is ready for despatch, so any changes to your order are taken into account before you are charged. |

18th July 2007 : New Postage Rates
Our postage rates will soon be revised and will be included in the next Catalogue issue for August 2007. The online store automatically estimates/calculates postage for your order based on the following guidelines :
POSTAGE & Packing Rates
For UK, £2.50 will be added for up to 600grms, £5 for 600grms and up to 1000grms, and £7 for ALL packages over 1000grms in total weight. Overseas postage will be charged at cost (normally sent as economy airmail parcels). The online store postage is based on an estimated weight, and if there is any significant change due to dimensional weight on bulky parcels or high value of the total order, we will send you an email for your confirmation before despatch. |

10th October 2006 : Soft CelPaste!
A new batch of CelPaste has now arrived! Unfortunately, due to a problem at the point of manufacture the paste is very soft and a short procedure is needed to make the paste suitable for use. We are offering the paste at a reduced price (£3.95 per 250 grms, instead of £4.95) and giving instructions on how to get the paste ready for use :
VERY SOFT PASTE . . . . . . SPECIAL PRICE £3.95
Please follow the instructions below - based on a 250 grm pack and an 850 power microwave :
1) Cut open the packet on 3 sides
2) Remove all of the paste from the packet using a plastic scraper
3) Place the paste in an open microwave dish and cook for 15 - 20 SECONDS (depending on how firm you like your paste).
4) Remove from the microwave and allow to cool completely.
5) Knead well, rub a little cold cream (or Nivea) on the surface and place in a clean polythene bag.
6) Add white gouache to the paste as normal, when you are ready to use it.
NB. If you feel unhappy with these instructions, we do have the alternative paste, Craft Porcelain, in stock
