Vast choice of products for every skill.
I get a catalogue from SAA from time to time along with the paint magazine and I find it inspiring to see what people are doing and the catalogue shows a large variety of products and then going to the website shows many more to give you choices. I am a Mathew Palmer fan having watched programmes and videos so am apt to go to his selection first but the choice is vast and worth exploring.

As always, good value and prompt delivery. Membership has many benefits, but free delivery no matter the size of the order is a key benefit for me.

Lovely community for all abilities.
I have been a member since 2012 and have always enjoyed all the things available on the SAA website, either shop or community. There is plenty of great information and opportunities to learn and grow. The members prices for the wide range of art supplies is a very valued feature that helps enormously. Over all a very good thing to be part of.

Hello
Hello, I am very satisfied with the service I received from SAA, particularly from Hollie and Emma. There was a delivery issue with your delivery courier which I found frustrating but I felt Hollie and Emma did everything they could for me. I did eventually receive my parcel and am very happy with the products.
