Jackson's Academy Table Box Easel with side drawer

Introducing the Jackson’s Academy Table Box Easel with side drawer, one of the new Jackson’s Academy easels.
At just £30 it is a very good value.

This Table Box Easel is great for artists who have limited space or who work on a medium to small scale. The easel extends downwards a bit below the edge of the table in front and then folds away flat on the surface of the box to take up little space. It tilts to a variety of working angles. The side-opening drawer is useful for storage of brushes and paints and because it opens to the side it doesn’t interfere with the work set up on the easel. The whole box takes up a minimal amount of space and has a carry handle for portability.
Size: 38x41x13cm, maximum canvas height is 85cm

An easel holds your artwork at a good angle for working. If you work small to medium-sized then a table easel might be a good choice. You can sit at a table to work and the paper or canvas is held up for you. Then when you are finished you can put it away on a shelf or in a cupboard.

Here at Jackson’s we stock 18 styles of table easels ranging from £9.00 to £80.00. These include simple fold-up A-frame designs, lightweight aluminium styles, those that double up as a storage box so you can carry your materials as well, and lovely Italian wood easels that look like miniature studio easels.

Any of these would make a lovely gift for the artist in your life, by itself or included with a collection of art materials.

Brands include: Winsor & Newton, Mabef, Daler-Rowney, Jakar and our own Jackson’s make.

I hope you have lots of creative friends because they are so much fun!

Since many people are starting to think about buying gifts for the holidays I asked some artists what they would like Santa to bring them and here are the results of my short, unscientific survey.

I found that these are the top 10 gifts that artists would like to receive (in no particular order):
- new brushes
- a tube of special, extravagant paint
- a box of paints
- an easel
- a set of Posca marker pens
- a studio lamp
- a big pack of nice/favourite paper
- some how-to books or DVDs
- a nice sketchbook
- a set of coloured pencils

What are you hoping for?
