Our Origins

We believe art makes the world a better place. It allows us to appreciate the little things in this complex and fast-paced world. Art inspires people to make real change. It connects us, grounds us, and makes us human.

Etchr is an Australian company dedicated to fostering creativity.

As an artist that has tried multiple brands and companies, Etchr has definitely been the best! Great content, great supplies, and super approachable with support and instruction.

We were founded in 2017 as Etchr Lab, an art supplies company focused on collaborating with independent artists to develop products that needed to be made. Our early items were brought to life with the support of the creative community through crowdfunding campaigns. Having artists as product designers instils a focus on function, and an uncompromising dedication to quality, even where it hurts the bottom line.

-

Over time our product range has grown into a broader selection of art supplies, with new items only being developed where we feel there is an unmet need that we can address.

In 2020, with many people unable to leave their homes, we partnered with independent artists to teach online art classes. We were touched by the impact of these early classes, and it became clear that, for many artists, education, not just their materials, was holding them back from growing in both skill and confidence. In 2021, we formally launched Etchr Studio, an online art learning platform that develops online art classes in partnership with hundreds of independent art teachers worldwide.

What this company has done to support fledgling artists, both teachers and students, has been innovative, forward thinking, fun, and constantly evolving. I’d like to think that the subscription idea is a way to guarantee decent and ongoing compensation for the teachers. As a business I think they have offered an amazing series of products over the past year.
