Sustainable Products
We are constantly looking for new & alternative ways to supply products to the Arts sector. We are challenging the old ways and seeking new products to replace them, without degrading the final requirements or finish.
The page is new and will be upgraded as we get more products online.
Please do let us know of new & suitable sustainable products to be stocked on the store.
Not all our products can be sustainable from a eco-friendly source - but we stock products that are recyclable and reusable over multiple applications, getting us away from a 'one-use' product.
