Art Supplies in Hornsby

The Best Art Supply Shop in Hornsby is also to my knowledge the oldest one.

If there was a competition and prize it would undoubtedly go to Hornsby Art Supplies.

So where is it? On George St. You cna see it from the walkway over from the statio.

Either park in the mall or walk form the station or bus stop and go there first before you go anywhere else.

THEY HAVE THE BEST AND WIDEST RANGE.

and do student discounts!

Usually I would place the Co-op shop up at Hornsby TAFE Second but they've been taken over by the Student Association and as I post this the shop has reduced its range of products however if you are a student or know one who can go shop for you if you want discounted prices on visual art diaries and art papers go here!

I understand some of the products that were previously on display will now be sold or provided from the student association as kits via the departments ?

Where else can you go?

We do have a couple of small shops that cater to crafts further up George st and also the big Officeworks.

Many of their stationery items are also useful for artists.

All the discount stores stock canvas and Chinese made art supplies form Montmatre and Reno.

The next main art supply store is the RIOT shop in the mall!

All of these are worth looking at!

Further a field if you can catch the train to West Ryde or drive do also visit Artscene down there?!

  2. Good Morning Mark and forgive me taking a couple of days to reply for various reasons of boring detail you don't need.

    So Montmatre ships to the USA too?

    I'm wondering do you get Australian ART products like Art Spectrum or Chromacryl in the USA?

    We get Strathmore and Liquitex as well as Montmatre and Fabriano and other British Chinese and European art supplies.

    I've be interested to learn if any of the Australian specialist papers limited as they are show up in australia.

    There are one or two very small workshops doing handmade watercolor sheets I think in Tasmania?
