Winsor & Newton are delighted to announce the launch of their 2017 gift range born from 185 years of expertise and inspired by the great art of alchemy, believed to hold the key to unlocking the secrets of creation. Founded in the artist’s quarter of London in 1832, chemist William Winsor and artist Henry Newton set out to create the finest artists’ materials. Their commitment to quality and innovation lives on today. Winsor & Newton have applied their extensive knowledge, passion and artistic understanding to curate the new gift range which has been designed to ignite artistic journeys that will excite the mind and engage the senses with each set containing a unique collection of high-performance art materials.
In addition, Winsor & Newton’s engagement and collaboration with modern artists have been fundamental to the development of the Gift Collections range to suit all tastes, from the experimental to the more traditional artist. The Gift Collections range will be available all year round and each collection is presented in a beautiful keepsake box.
