    Welcome to South West Art    

Welcome to South West Art
VERY EXCITING NEWS FOR 2026! We are very pleased to be launching South West Art SPACE early in 2026 - this will be a fully equipped printmaking studio in a beautiful street in Sidmouth town centre, providing printmaking workshops, open access, artist residencies and it will also be the new home for SWA Summer School 2026!

As artists ourselves we source the best art materials from around the world to provide you with an extensive & comprehensive range of high-quality fine art materials.
Every product in our range has a place in our hearts and every customer matters to us - we are committed to providing you with exactly what you need (and possibly the one item you didn't know you couldn't do without!), all at the most competitive possible price. 
Creating art should be an enjoyable process. Sometimes the choice of medium, tools or supports can hinder your enjoyment and/or hold back your abilities. Not only have we tried out all our products for ourselves, we also listen to our customer's feedback - so we find out about more things to do with each product than any one person could ever think of on their own!
We would like to invite you to test us to see if we can help! If you can't find what you need on here, or you're unsure of which product would be best for you, please do contact us and we'll be more than happy to help out.
Thanks for visiting our website - we're looking forward to being a part of your creative endeavours.

If you have a loyalty card with us please enter your card number at the checkout & click "apply" to receive a further 10% off your checkout total - this makes our prices highly competitive with other online suppliers. Please click here to apply for your loyalty card online.

Our normal opening hours are Monday to Friday 9.30am till 5pm, we close a little earlier at 3.30pm on Saturdays. We are closed on Sundays & bank holidays.


With very few art stores left around the country people travel to us from great distances and greatly enjoy perusing the shop in person, but if you are unable to do that but would like a little more service than the website can provide, please do contact us as we are always able to talk you through your requirements and can arrange either "Click&Collect" or courier delivery for both online & telephone orders.

Order online here with us, call us on 01395 514717, or email info@southwestartmaterials.co.uk

WE CURRENTLY ONLY SHIP TO ADDRESSES IN THE UK 

and may contact you to discuss extra charges for delivery to the UK Highlands & Islands.
