Finding supplier near you?
The best way to find a supplier local to you, is to start with the Manufacturer or maker of the product you are looking for, these are mainly the sites I’ve linked to, (unless otherwise stated). When you get to the manufacturers site, look for sections or tabs marked; Store Locate/Where to Buy/Find a Retailer. This will normally take you to a page where you can select a country or type in your location. This way you will find a supplier that really is close to you, rather than one that is close to me π
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon

We all hate dead links, but sometimes a site changes address and this causes a link to fail. If you do find a dead link on this page, please leave me a comment and I will attempt to repair it or remove it from the list.

Dear Billie
My name is Dave Hayes and I am the owner of an art shop in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire called Paint & ART. I also sell art supplies online through my website. [This is a dead link, so details removed]
I have added your website to my Links pages, this is under the Resources tab, and i was hoping you could add my website to your links page as this would help us both with our online presence.
Thank you for your time and I wish you continued success as an artist.
Kindest Regards
Dave Hayes
[Edited and links removed 2023, the link given in 2011, is now a dead link, so I have removed the link]

Hi Billie
Sorry it’s taken me a while to respond, thank you for the reply, and the positive comments.
Is it possible for you to add my link to your art retailers section, that would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Dave

Thanks for sharing Billie! There are so many art suppliers out there and you’ve listed some great suggestions here. Just thought I’d add our info as a supplier to add to the list. π We have many different products for all kinds of artistic individuals.
Thanks for stopping by, I’d heard of your store but hadn’t visited before.
Nice stuff!

Great list! You can also find affordable art supplies online from http://www.artshedonline.com.au/ at wholesale price.
Thanks for sharing Billie! Maybe on your next post you could add our little store to your list. π
I’d be happy to, thanks for your visit. I’d heard of your site but because of the .com had assumed you were based in the UK. Nice to find another UK retailer.
Hi Do you guys know how to start an online store of art supplies. I am still a college student and I am having a hard time finding a supplier. This may help me with school expenses that is why I want to have an art store that runs online. Thank you!
Have you looked at the links in this tab? Its full of online art stores π
In the UK Cowling and Wilcox have some amazing prices for supplies and if you are going for larger sets of pens or pencils the Art Discount is a good one to try I think Art Discount ‘may’ offer student discount but you would need to check their site for T&Cs. Hope this helps
