Artists Take Note

Art and stationery are a logical match! 

Professional artists use stationery in several ways - pencils to sketch, rulers to make perfectly straight lines, and paper to create. But stationery can also channel and highlight artistic talents. Give someone, anyone, a tool to make art and chances are, art will be made!

Let us count the ways 👩🏻🎨

  • The physical glide of a pen and the rich texture of a sketchpad help clear mental clutter, allowing intuitive expression to flourish.

  • Good, practical materials prevent smudging and bleeding, enabling artists to perfect and refine their preferred media.

  • Everyday stationery encourages out-of-the-box thinking, allowing makers to turn simple items like paperclips and carved erasers into creative experiments. 

Here are three suggestions from us to you, to get your art brain in gear!

Plastic Pipettes

Pipettes! Born to assist science, live to assist artists.

The word pipette stems from the French pipette (meaning "tube"), which became widely used by the 1800s. The French scientist Louis Pasteur invented the classic glass-and-rubber bulb instrument in the early 1860s to transfer sterile liquids without contamination. 

Fast forward a few years …. Artists began adopting these calibrated, squeeze-bulb tools to manage watercolours, inks, acrylic pouring mediums, and dyes. Pipettes allow for precision in the half-millilitre range, and so are perfect for recreating techniques similar to Pointillism—a painting style pioneered by Post-Impressionist Georges Seurat that relied on the optical mixing of pure pigment dots.

In other words, great for watercolour art. As well as watering small plants!
