Tell us what your students need. We'll curate, source, price and deliver custom student art kits built for your course — at wholesale rates, with no quote fee and no obligation.
A simple, four-step process. We've done this thousands of times for schools, colleges and universities across the UK.
Send us your course material list, syllabus, or just a description of what students need. If you don't have a list, we'll help you build one.
We source every item — using our own range or bringing in new lines if needed — and come back with a per-student price within 3–5 working days.
Buy at wholesale (45% off RRP, PO with 30-day terms), or we set up a private link on art-kits.co.uk where students order direct and pay by card at 30% off our standard web prices.
Whichever route you choose, kits arrive at your institution on a date you set — induction week, term start, or staggered through the year.
If your course isn't listed, we still want to hear from you — these are just the disciplines we kit out most often.
Mixed-discipline kits covering drawing, painting, printmaking and 3D.
Studio essentials, sketchbooks, paint and surfaces tailored by year of study.
Cutting tools, measuring, fabrics, sketchbooks and design accessories.
Drawing, ink, marker and surface kits sized for studio briefs.
Technical drawing, modelling, cutting and measuring tools in one box.
Modelling tools, sculpting accessories and surfaces curated to your studio setup.
Beyond the kit itself, here's what we take off your plate.
If a key item isn't in our standard range, we'll source it for you — there's no surcharge for hunting down the right materials.
Wholesale: institution buys at 45% off RRP, paid by purchase order with 30-day terms. Student-pay: students order via a private link on art-kits.co.uk and pay by card at 30% off our standard Artway web prices.
Ideal whether you're ordering bulk art supplies for the whole cohort or setting students up to buy individually.
Whether the institution pays or the students do, kits ship to your campus on a date you set — induction, term start, or staggered drops. No sign-for-everything chaos at reception.
The student-pay route is genuinely good value: 30% off the prices listed on artway.co.uk, with no minimum spend per student and the convenience of a card transaction.
Once a kit is set up, repeat orders for the next cohort are a single email. We keep the spec on file.
Speak to the same Artway team that packs the kits, not a call centre. We know our stock and we know education.
Fill in as much as you know — even rough numbers are fine. We'll come back to you within 3–5 working days with a costed proposal, no obligation.
The questions university and college teams ask us most. Anything not covered? Drop us a line.
There isn't a hard minimum, but bespoke kits make most sense from around 15 students upwards. Below that, our standard kits are usually the better-value option.
3–5 working days is our standard turnaround, often faster. If you're up against a deadline, tell us in the form and we'll prioritise.
That's fine — many of our customers come to us without a formal art materials list or art equipment list. Just a syllabus or a rough description is enough. We'll suggest a kit based on the course and the level of student, and you can tweak from there.
Yes. We can set up a unique product link on artway.co.uk so students buy and pay direct at a pre-agreed price. Many institutions prefer this — no internal procurement, no money handling.
For schools, colleges and universities, we offer purchase order with 30-day payment terms as standard. For other customer types we accept card or pro-forma invoice.
Yes — sourcing items outside our catalogue is part of the service, at no extra charge. If we can find it, we'll quote for it.
Yes. We deliver to any UK mainland address and can arrange staggered drops or a single induction-week delivery to suit your timetable.
Yes — alongside our work with universities and art colleges, we supply bespoke kits and bulk art materials to secondary schools and sixth forms, including matched kits for GCSE Art and A-Level Art coursework. Tell us your year groups and student numbers and we'll quote.
