Eckersley's Pty Ltd

A great little art & craft store on York St in the Sydney CBD.

I spent a little time today browsing through all of their products.

Impressive range for arts and craft products and it’s all nicely arranged.

The saleswoman was super friendly as well.

Good store for crafts, was a bit disappointed in their selection of paper crafts though. Another thing that was disappointing is that I happened to purchase a lot of paper materials when it was bucketing down rain, but the store only had paper carry bags. As you can imagine, paper carry bags are not the most durable bag when it comes to rain, and it is especially annoying when that paper bag is carrying equally vulnerable decorative paper that you also don't want ruined from the rain.

In conclusion, this store should sell a bit more paper options and have plastic carry bags on hand should it be raining.

Really good art supply shop in a very convenient location. Staff seem genuinely interested in creative endeavors and seem to know stock well. Cater for basic student-quality to professional artist type materials. They stock a wide variety of canvases, papers, sketch pads/books, paints, pencils, brushes, easels, chalks and so on. A one-stop-shop for most things you might need. Since it is part of a chain they also have a good website- very handy when you want to check out the range before you head in store. Worth getting on their mailing list as there are regular promotions.

I've been drawing in ink for a comic and I've been struggling to find a shop that supplies markers for artists. After a visit to three other stationary stores, the last owner directed me to Eckersley's. So happy he did, I was like a kid in a candy store!
