Back to school after the holidays doesn't have
to mean back to boring 🙅

Our Glost range adds the pop of colour every pencil
case needs for Term 2.

Tough enough for daily use but cool enough to show
off - these are the supplies that stay awesome from
first bell to final term (even if their enthusiasm for
homework doesn't).

Green before it was cool.

We started making eco-friendly brushes (as well as timber, paper and board products) back in 2010 because we figured art should create beauty without costing the Earth.

This Earth Day, we're celebrating a decade+ of sustainable creativity. The planet called, and we answered 💚

Whether it's a child processing their first day of school through finger painting, or a teenager finding peace in sketching, we're just glad to be a part of the journey.

Gives parents a break, keeps the kids entertained (and off devices!), and ensures the table stays safe from spills. We'd call that a triple threat 😉

When life gets a bit much, sometimes the best
therapy is getting creative 💚

Our latest blog explores why art isn't just fun - it's
actually good for your brain (and even better for your
kids').

Check out the full blog on our website, because
sometimes the most important masterpieces never
make it to a gallery - they just make it to your fridge.
