The Sparkling World of Sequin Arts




Introducing the Sparkling World of Sequin Art !!!

Sequin Art consists of brightly coloured sequins, pins, flocked board and a polystyrene frame.
Initially Sequin Art was considered more suitable for children. However, adults became interested in the product thus creating a new market within the craft industry.

Many new ideas and innovations have been further developed within the Sequin Art range in recent years. These include Sequin Art Junior for the younger generation with easy to follow printed layouts and with even more choice in designs for the Sequin Bead Art which are being developed all the time.

Over the years Sequin Art has developed and has it's own unique image with an increasingly strong following. 
Innovative designs have been added, with the Sequin Art Strictly series being particularly well received by fans of a certain TV dance programme.

Take No Chances with your Health !

We love our tools here at Hobbies, but we also recognize that they can be extremely hazardous to your health. Hazards can come from dust particles if you're a metalworker or carpenter, and paint mists if you're an artist, using an airbrush or spray paints. That's why it is essential to be using a good quality respirator with a classification to suit your needs.
  
Hobbies now stock the Elipse Half Mask Respirator which comes with a pair of P3 filters to provide protection against fine dust particles, metal fumes (smoke), asbestos, oil & water mists, bacteria & viruses. The European standard defines three classes of particle filters, with the P3 classification offering the highest level of protection.

It is latex-free and silicone-free and is comfortable to wear for long periods of time, with low profile filters that provide an unobstructed field of vision.

Setting the Scene:
A general strike at the start of January 1919, provoked terrible confrontations in the streets of Berlin between the government of the time and the burgeoning Communist Party of Germany. Berlin had to live with street barricades, armed conflict between workers and army and great loss of human lives for several days.
The new Occre Berlin Diorama Kit captures the state of the streets, somewhere on the tram line between the train station and the zoo, during those dark days.
