Art Equipment

Our Art catalogue hasn’t been running as long as our Design Technology catalogue and is growing every year at a healthy rate. It contains a whole range of art equipment at competitive prices. The format of the art catalogue changed 4 years ago to a smaller A5 size, which is easier to handle. This was decided after some extensive market research was done in art departments with art teachers in which we asked about the content of the art catalogue, the art equipment available and the overall layout. The new format proved popular as the large photographs on each page show the art equipment arranged clearly with the descriptions opposite.

We update our range of art equipment, as different materials and subjects are introduced into the art classroom. Recent additions to our art equipment are digital imaging and sublimation printing. We recognised the need for introducing digital cameras, scanners and printers for imaging work, and not just offering traditional art equipment.

In this years art catalogue we included information on the laser cutters near the front of the catalogue as textiles is becoming more prominent in art as well as design technology. We felt this would be an ideal use for a laser cutter in an art department. Including the laser cutter was one of the main additions to the art equipment and we focused it on engraving textiles and creating prints by cutting out designs in lino and using it as a printing block.
