Art Supplies & Handmade Brushes in Kolkata

Stationerie is a Kolkata brush maker, not just a shop. Our brushes are made here in the city by a team of 60+ artisan brushmakers — the same hands that supply artists, studios and brands across India. When you buy from us in Kolkata, you are buying direct from the workshop.

That means an unusually deep brush range: Kolinsky-synthetic detail liners, riggers and spotters; Squirella and Velour wash mops; Chungking hog flats for oil and acrylic; and full sets for every medium. Alongside brushes we make and stock handmade watercolour paper, canvases, palettes, clay and printmaking tools — a complete studio, much of it produced in-house.

For artists in Kolkata and across West Bengal that means fair, direct-from-maker pricing, genuine artist-grade quality and fast delivery from the city.
