			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Share your views on your favourite products by submitting a product review on <a href="http://www.jacksonsart.com">our website</a>! Simply navigate to the product you wish to review and click on the &#8216;Reviews&#8217; button beneath the product image.  </p>
<p>To say thank you we will send you a free Jackson&#8217;s Studio Synthetic Watercolour brush worth at least £4.50 (one per customer), and automatically enter you into the monthly reviews competition.  We&#8217;ll feature our favourite review of the month in our e-newsletter and award the author with a Jackson&#8217;s Studio Synthetic Brush set worth £19.95!</p>
<p>When you want to review a range of paints on our website, like all websites you will have to choose an individual product, like 60ml Old Holland Oil in Cadmium Red. You can&#8217;t review a whole range directly, but you can indirectly, because a copy of your single colour review also shows at the top of the whole range (in that size).  Here is an example of what I mean: http://ow.ly/8s2Cv </p>

<p>Unfortunately we have had price increases from our suppliers so we have had to increase many of our prices in the upcoming catalogue. You may want to take advantage of the current prices as we are holding the lower prices until February 1st. </p>
<p>Note that most Jackson’s brand products will be held at the same price as last year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In addition to supplying artists with the widest selection of art materials from the economical to the top-of-the-range and at a discounted price, Jackson&#8217;s also gives a dependable salary to a few dozen artists.</p>
<p>Jackson&#8217;s has a main office and shop in Hackney in East London and a shop under the arches of Putney Bridge tube station in Fulham (South London) that are staffed by artists of all disciplines.  Most are painters and printmakers with a couple of illustrators/cartoonists and sculptors. Nearly everyone works part-time so that they can practice their art part of the week and that flexibility is one of the many reasons they choose to work at Jackson&#8217;s.</p>
<p>So the next time you are thinking of where to get your materials remember that you not only get a great deal and selection at Jackson&#8217;s Art Supplies but you also get expert advice from people who use the products and you are helping to support some hard-working artists. (I paint and make artists&#8217; books.)</p>
