The art materials are developed and manufactured by a team of modern ‘colourmen’ with a background in chemistry, who create colours and materials which provide quality – and inspiration.

Royal Warrant

Winsor & Newton were granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria in 1841, and have continued receive the endorsement ever since. Winsor & Newton remains by Appointment to HRH the Prince of Wales.

Sustainability

At tjhe brushmaking plant in Lowestoft they have introduced a rainwater collection system that provides a free and alternative source of water for the production process.
