ILKLEY, ENGLAND, December 24, 2010 (Press-News.org) It's not hard to see why anyone would want to set up shop in the idylic town of Ilkley nestling in the Yorkshire Dales. It's a beautiful victorian town surrounded by beautiful countryside, but the centre of a UK-wide online art supplies business? Proud shop owner Tim Tennant is bucking the retailing trend with his burgeoning artist materials shop and sending art supplies uk wide with his newly revamped website at http://www.art-shoponline.co.uk
Artshoponline.co.uk supply a huge range of materials for artists from the operation's headquarters in Ilkley. "We've gone from strength to strength" says shop owner Tim, "not only have walk in sales of our art equipment gone through the roof, but the online sales are astounding!". So it's not just local artists being inspired by the beautiful Yorkshire dales scenery!
There seems to be a huge resurgence in interest in painting and drawing from the population at large. Brands such as Daler Rowney, Windsor and Newton and Caran Dache are leaping off the shelves as a population takes up it's paintbrushes and drawing pencils and heads off with sketchbooks and easels to brush up on it's artistic technique.
Tim sells to professional artists and amateur artists alike. "Every artist wants the very best products they can afford" says Tim. "If a customer wants watercolour brushes, then they'll more often than not go for the more expensive sable brushes if they can afford them, but we've seen many customers still opt for the less expensive brushes like the Artmaster Pearl series brushes which offer great colour holding at a much more reasonable price".
Likewise, Tim is reporting big sales of artist's Studio Easels and acrylic paints are becoming more and more popular because of their versatility. Art-shoponline.co.uk think that the current boom in art supplies in the uk is down to consumers getting bored with having entertainment handed to them on a plate. Instead people are leaving the tv and the computer alone and getting back to some real artistic endeavours by putting paintbrush to canvas and creating something memorable and worthwhile with their time.
It's not just for adults either - children's art sets are a big seller with the Art Shop Online. With great art boxes like the Reeves Watercolour Art Set and the Derwent Academy Wooden Pencil Box, the successors to Picasso and Van Gogh have got a head start on creativity!
The Art Shop in Ilkley has been going for a long time - and the same family has had a business on the same premesis for nearly 100 years. This makes it all the more remarkable that a small family firm has been able to embrace the internet age so successfully and distribute it's art supplies uk wide to a huge customer base. If you walk into the Art Shop in Ilkley, you'll be surrounded by an Alladin's Cave of artist's pastels, artist brushes, Winsor and Newton paints, Daler Rowney palettes, watercolour paper and pre stretched canvases galore.
