Gordon Harris offers New Zealand's largest range of artists' materials from beginner to professional quality.

>Easels
A beautiful easel becomes an artist's life long companion. The passion, creative spirit and expertise applied to the design and manufacture of artists' easels by the Italian company Mabef is unsurpassed. From Table to Studio there is a Mabef easel to suit your needs.

We also stock the Expression economy range of easels which are made in China.

>Paints
Leading brands of oils, acrylics and watercolours are represented including: Winsor & Newton, Pebeo, Golden, Schmincke, Old Holland, Art Spectrum, Matisse, and Atelier. A large selection of mediums, mortars, varnishes, spirits and solvents complement these ranges.

>Brushes
The brush is the extension of the artist's hand. It is an essential tool, as important as the paint. At Gordon Harris you will find The Right Brush for the Job. So whether you need a round, flat, filbert, fan, comb, liner, stencil, oval, mop or a dagger stripper our knowledgeable staff can assist you in your selection.

>Drawing Media
To support the many different drawing techniques we carry a full range of graphite pencils and sticks, coloured pencils, water-soluble coloured pencils, charcoals, pastels, conte' crayons, pens and inks.

>Surfaces
Canvas is still the most widely used painting support and at Gordon Harris we stock an unrivalled selection of stretched and primed canvas with ranges that are easy on the budget through to individually crafted gallery quality in cotton or linen. If you prefer to stretch and prepare your own canvas we carry high quality wooden stretcher bars, a range of canvas off the roll, canvas-straining pliers and a variety of gessos. For oil and acrylic painting we also stock canvas panels, various boards and papers. A custom canvas stretching service is now available at Gordon Harris Wellington.

Paper - Our extensive range of watercolour, printmaking and drawing papers include those from such illustrious names as Canson, Arches, Magnani and Fabriano, as well as more budget priced options, in sheets, blocks and pads.

ProPanel - High quality painting panels.

>Screen Printing
Permaset Aqua is a revolution in fabric & screen printing inks. By using advanced polymer technology combined with the purest pigments. Permaset Aqua results in an environmentally friendly, easy to use ink that provides long-term durability without compromising its superior soft handle. Gordon Harris also stocks a range of screens and squeeges.

Permaprint Premium
- A newly re-engineered ink for sealed paper and other suitable substrates. This range of inks is now a totally water-based product with superiour performance and colour brightness.

Nehoc Screenprinting System uses a fast and simple thermal process to create a screen using your designs with no chemicals, solvents, hand cutting, time-consuming exposures or chemical wash-ups.

>Books
We stock a wide range of art technique titles in categories such as oils, acrylics, watercolours, drawing and cartooning.

>Anything goes
Of course the only limits on art are those you choose to impose on yourself. Many artists find unexpected inspiration among the myriad of materials found in a Gordon Harris store.
