Did you know that art Canadian made art supplies were first manufactured in the 1930’s and provided materials to the international community of artists. The Canadian Art Laboratory founded by Henry James Goulding Carter in Toronto, ON and produced art supplies made in Canada until 1954. For more information, check out the article on it written in 2012 by the Journal of the Canadian Association for Conservation. If you know of any other Canadian art supplies please forward the information so I can add them to the directory.

| Studiostone Creative has a vision that anyone ages 8 to 99 should be able to carve stone with the right tools and instructions. It all began in Oliver’s sculpture studio when one day an elementary school teacher called, asking if he would come to teach the students stone carving. Until that point, he had taught only adults to carve with large blocks of stone and big tools in a 20-hour course. So the artist became the entrepreneur out to answer the question… “Can anyone create a truly amazing stone sculpture in 90 minutes with no previous experience?” Part of the Art Supplies Made In Canada directory.

| At Stoneground Paint Co., we make our own binder in house using two ingredients – locally produced wildflower honey, and the world’s finest gum arabic. Gum arabic, hardened sap harvested from acacia trees, is the traditional binder for watercolour paint. The gum arabic is crushed and ground by hand here at the shop in a labour intensive process before we make our binder. Once the gum arabic is prepared, we combine it with distilled water and honey. Combined, these two ingredients result in a binder that is free from additives and fillers, ensuring the purest painting experience possible.

| In the 1960’s Spadina and College was the place for artist to live and work, crammed with studios at every block. At the time Gwartzman’s was a Discount Drapery and Fabric store, owned and run by Mr. G. Often artists would come into the store looking for canvas, so the Gwartzman’s brought in canvas of all different types and widths to accommodate the artists.

| Maughan Made is a custom furniture shop located in the Strathcona neighbourhood of East Vancouver, British Columbia. Offering beautiful one of a kind furniture as well as small production collections. Jake will work with you to incorporate your ideas into a hand crafted, heirloom quality piece meant to be treasured for generations. It is Jake’s belief that a piece should not only look beautiful and harmonious from across the room, but should also offer more to discover the closer you get. Some details can only be felt when running your hands over the piece, and others may be discovered by surprise after living with it for some time. This philosophy had a tremendous impact on his approach to furniture building. Each Maughan Made piece is sparked by a fresh perspective and quickly transforms into a functional and inspired creation that can also be appreciated for its beauty alone.

| Beam Paints is the result of a multi-generational love of pigment, paint, colour, and innovation. I was raised by my artist parents, Carl Beam and Ann Beam, and was taught from a young age how to harvest hematite pigment in the LaCloche mountain range near our home in M’Chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island. Beam Paints draws on my early educations in Indigenous pigment and expands it to encompass all paint traditions. A focus on high quality pigment content creates sublime artist materials, with plastic free packaging. Part of the Art Supplies Made In Canada directory. Products:
