Specialising in Fine Artists Supplies, paints and surfaces, this much-loved shop has stood since 1839, a timeless beacon for artists, makers, and visionaries and here's what some of our customers said after having visited The PaintBox
"If Harry Potter had an Art Shop it would look like this" Earl Kellie
"This historic Hahndorf shop is a magical and inspiring place for artists of all abilities to enjoy the experience of browsing a truly extensive collection of pigments, raw materials, canvases, pencils and paints of all description backed up with comprehensive materials handling advice" Gary Jackson
"One of the coolest art shops in Australia, The PaintBox has literally everything: paints, pigments, brushes, papers, sketchbooks, inks, pastels, calligraphy tools, gilding stuff, you name it. The place has so much character and the staff really know their stuff. Whether you're a pro or just messing around with art, its definitely worth checking out. Note to mention, the staff are super friendly and they have a woolly assistant who's an Airedale terrier called Beth, I really enjoyed talking with them" David Smith
Well established fine art shop in the Adelaide Hills. They have all the pens and colour that I was looking for. The shop sells a wide range of ink, watercolour oil and acrylic. They had open stock of things I didn't know I could buy in Australia. Definitely worth a visit." Phuong Do
