    Discover Our Blog and Website

    Welcome to our blog and website. I’ve been making brushes for 39 years and supplying artists by mail order. I’m fortunate that my trade has allowed me to travel the world both sourcing materials and learning different styles of manufacturing. It’s from these resources that I find my own methods of making brushes and trained my team ‘my way’. I have trained a team of highly skilled brush makers to follow suit. I am passionate about art and I hope this shines through in our products.

    In dealing with artists directly, I’m able to offer exactly what you want, in terms of quality, price and delivery. I’m proud to be a small family business, who can extend an ‘old fashioned’ approach to conducting my business. I believe this to be a major strength and although the 21st century offers valuable technology, I feel it is important to remember the courtesies in life, day to day, between each other. With this in mind, if you don’t see what you’re looking for or need any help/advice with your selection, just ask! Myself and my team look forward to being of service and trust my brushes will enable you to express your artistic talent. We have a free mail order catalogue which we are able to ship worldwide and in there all of the brushes are photographed in actual size. If you’d like a copy click here and we will send you one with pleasure.

    DREAMS COME TRUE

    August 2024 saw one of my personal ‘ dreams come true’ – our purpose built workshop and offices were completed and we made the big move. As I look out of my new office window I can see the most southerly part of the landscape we call ‘ The Yorkshire Dales’. Our new ‘home’ is a purpose built workshop designed to suit our brush making & mail order facility and busy offices. Designed to look like a beautiful Georgian building from the outside yet inside a modern working facility which we have long awaited. We look forward to welcoming you to our new showroom and gallery space where you can browse our brushes and see some of the finest artwork. This will be from August 2025. Please either phone or email to make an appointment so that a member of the team can welcome and help you.

    I believe we are now the biggest brush manufacturer in the United Kingdom. I watch others copy our new ranges and feel proud to have been “The First” to create them. We have a beautiful cottage on site too which is a ‘get away from it all’ holiday let. If you are in Yorkshire for a few days and want to explore our beautiful county or load up with your painting gear and go outdoors painting en Plein Air, then get in touch, we will welcome you.

    Gratitude and Beyond

    I have loved and lived art for all my adult life and so art is my way of life. On a final note, many of my customers have endorsed and used my brushes for the entirety of my career and have indeed become friends (some distant and as far away as the USA, Australia, Canada, Japan & New Zealand). For their patronage and support, I would like to take this opportunity and say
    ‘thank you’.
