About Eckersley’s Art & Craft

Eckersley’s is one of the largest fine art, craft and design supplies retailers in Australia. Whether you are an inspired artist, a dabbler in the arts and crafts, a bride-to-be searching for invitation ideas, an architect requiring technical drawing materials, or even a teacher in the art and design field, shop online or in store with Eckersley’s.

Eckersley’s began over 55 Years ago, in October 1965, with its very first store opening in Prahran, Victoria. This was established by two Eckersley’s brothers, and the store was then known as “N.S. Eckersley’s Pty Ltd”. After some 40 years of successful trading in Prahran, this led to the expansion around the country. In 2005, five new retail stores called “The Art n Craft Store” were launched, and consequently were then re-branded in November 2007 as the stores are now known by, Eckersley’s Art & Craft. Around the same time, more stores in Canberra were acquired called “The Art Store” and “The Craft Store”. In June 2008, these ACT stores were also re-branded as Eckersley’s Art & Craft. Moving forward to 2022, over 55 Years since the Eckersley brothers founded their first ever store, the company has grown from strength to strength, with 27 stores located across Australia.
