Eckersley's Art & Craft - Milton

Eckersley’s Art & Craft in Milton is a dedicated art and craft retailer for people working across fine art, craft, design and mixed media. The store’s range includes paints, brushes, canvases and papers, along with other materials for creative projects. The wider Eckersley’s selection includes products from brands such as Winsor & Newton, Liquitex, Faber-Castell and Pebeo, although availability can vary by store.

Located at 12 Douglas Street, the Milton shop also promotes in-store art classes and workshops. These are part of Eckersley’s broader focus on education, with sessions and events intended to help people learn techniques, develop skills and connect with other creative-minded customers. The website describes workshops for different experience levels, from beginners through to more advanced practitioners, making the store relevant whether you are starting a new hobby or refining an established practice.

A useful feature for shoppers who want guidance is the staff’s creative background. Eckersley’s says many team members have experience in art, craft or other creative fields, and are available to help customers choose suitable materials for their projects. That makes the Milton store a practical stop for anyone comparing supplies, planning a design project or looking for advice rather than simply browsing a general-purpose retailer. The business also supplies art and design materials to schools through its education division.

Eckersley’s has operated in Australia since 1965, beginning with a store in Prahran before expanding to a national network. The company presents itself as supporting artists, hobbyists, teachers and creators through retail stores, online shopping, workshops, demonstrations and community initiatives. Milton is open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 4pm on weekends, giving Brisbane shoppers several opportunities to visit. A Creative Rewards loyalty programme and gift cards are also available through the wider business.
