Auckland's Art Shop for Artists

 

Located in downtown Takapuna Beach on the North Shore, our store has been serving the local art community since the early seventies. We are owned and operated by working, professional artists and have become the place where like minded creatives choose to gather, share and inspire.

Jim and Sandy working in the studio

We are the only art supply store in the greater Auckland area that has a working artists' studio on premises. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are always happy, willing and able to demonstrate techniques and share tips on the use of various artist materials.

Our focus is to encourage the pursuit of personal artistic expression and to share our expertise and love for the visual arts.

Quattro Journals
Quattro JournalsSketchbooks

Quattro Journals feel comfortable in the hand and slip easily into your pocket. The rounded corners help the journals resist damage and wear and the specially laminated cover resists dirt and stains. The cover can be folded all the way around to the back, revealing the full sheet for use. They contain acid-free, micro-perforated sheets for easy removal. The Artist Blank Journals includes 60 sheets of 110gsm paper with a subtle tooth, making it ideal for both ink and pencil. Delicate rules are printed in subtle gray on the super-smooth 90gsm paper of the 80-sheet Lined Journals. The lines are spaced slightly closer than traditional journals allowing small handwriting to feel tight and orderly while large script flows comfortably over every second rule. 3.5 x 5.5"
