In-Store Working Studio

We are happy to share our work and technical experience in our in-store studios where often, we are found working on commissioned work and/or personal work.

Both Jim and Sandy have Fine Art Degrees in illustration and combined, have several decades of work experience in the visual arts. We encourage customers to share what they are working on, demo products or just browse through our reference material.

We are the only art supply store in New Zealand that has a working artists' studio on premises. We are always happy, willing and able to demonstrate techniques and share tips on the use of various artist materials. Please feel free to drop by our shop during opening hours.

 

The shop has a studio area where both Jim and Sandy work in-house and where fellow creatives stop by to share advice, inspiration, techniques, and their work. Here, Sandy is working on a sculpture for an exhibition in Takapuna.

 

As working artists both Sandy and Jim are in demand worldwide providing illustrations, sculptures and paintings for clients as diverse as the NFL and Franklin Mint. Here, Jim is working on a commission for the Buffalo Bills.
