Poundland launches artists’ materials range
Poundland has launched a new range of painting supplies to satisfy a growing demand from budding artists in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
It follows a sharp rise in demand for arts and craft items at the discount retailer in the last year.
The new range will encompass nearly 100 items from artists materials brand Simply, by Daler-Rowney. These will include oil, watercolour and acrylic paints, oil pastels, brushes, pencils, palette, paper, stretched canvases and sketchbooks, as well as botanical and landscape painting sets.
Poundland’s trading director Tim Bettley said: “Millions of people have found painting is a great way to chill and we’ve created our widest range of artists’ materials for those who want to take up the hobby or brush up their canvas technique. “Who knows, the next Banksy or David Hockney might get their inspiration from visiting their local Poundland store.”
