About us
An art supplies superstore that knows its colours
We stock ten departments of art and craft supplies for artists, schools and studios. Here is who we are and how we pick every order.
Our story
Started on one shelf of paint
Easel began as a single shelf of paint and paper in a framing shop. Artists and teachers kept asking for the same thing: the right colour, a clear item code and someone who knew the difference between two blues.
Today the store covers ten departments, from paint and paper to printmaking and studio furniture, and every order is still picked and checked by hand before it leaves the shelf (sample text).

In the stock room
Picked by hand, wrapped with care
Every order is picked by item code, checked against the order and wrapped so tubes stay sealed, paper stays flat and canvas corners arrive square.

- Paper shipped flat or rolled
