Safeguarding Fragile Art Materials

From sturdy cases for delicate drawing materials to airtight containers for paints and specialized storage for brushes, we provide everything needed to safeguard your art materials.
Why Is Proper Art Storage Essential for Artists?
Proper art storage is crucial for preserving the quality, integrity, and longevity of artistic creations and materials. Storing artwork in a controlled environment helps protect it from moisture, dust, UV light, and temperature fluctuations, all of which can cause damage over time. Paintings, drawings, and mixed-media pieces require different storage solutions to prevent smudging, warping, or fading. Canvases should be stored vertically to reduce pressure on painted surfaces, while paper-based artwork benefits from flat storage in acid-free portfolios. For art supplies like brushes, paints, and pastels, storage solutions ensure accessibility while preventing damage from environmental factors. By investing in appropriate storage tools, artists can maintain the value and presentation of their work, ensuring it remains in pristine condition for years to come.

Archiving paper-based artwork requires precision and care to prevent fading, creasing, and yellowing. Artists should store works on paper in acid-free portfolios or archival boxes to minimise exposure to light, dust, and moisture. Flat storage is preferable for smaller pieces, while larger works can be carefully rolled with acid-free tissue paper for added protection. Temperature and humidity control are crucial for maintaining paper quality over time. When stacking paper-based artwork, protective sheets or tissue paper should be placed between each piece to prevent smudging or pigment transfer. Proper labelling also simplifies retrieval, particularly for artists with extensive collections. Thoughtful archiving ensures that delicate paper-based artwork remains in pristine condition for exhibitions, sales, or future reference.
