On Location at Pro Arte | Jackson's Art

Описание: Located on the edge of the rugged Yorkshire Dales in the historic market town of Skipton, North Yorkshire, England, Pro Arte was established in 1973 by artist Roy Thompson. The family-run business has built a reputation for handcrafted artists’ brushes while leading the way in producing high quality synthetic alternatives to traditional natural hair brushes. Today, Pro Arte is run by Roy’s son Peter and his grandson Johnny, who continue to build on Roy’s achievements and his spirit of innovation. We travelled to the Pro Arte factory, where skilled brushmakers work to produce a comprehensive range of artists’ brushes, from their flagship Prolene range for watercolour to their versatile Sterling brushes for acrylic and oil.
