Pretty good spot… nice paper… benefits from being the only spot in town. It’s a touch pricey and I was nearly mowed down by 5 different geriatrics in high-powered walkers in the 10 minutes I was shopping. Service from behind the counter was nice and ultimately I’d prefer to support a local retailer than try and buy things online.

I just love coming back to this store, I have been coming here for years. It started when I was a budding artist so full of hope and dreams about being the next female Picasso, then it was when I needed some paint for the office I worked in, then it was for some charcoal to create some drawings, I wanted to do for my house when we got married, as we couldn’t afford any art. So I think you are getting the picture of a failing artist through their visits to Jacksons. regardless, every single time I come here I find what I need, it always cost more than I think it, but then I never did end up being that Picasso.

Jacksons Subi is the premier art supplies for students in Perth. They have just about every conceivable type of paper, paint and pencil that you could require. The best thing about Jacksons Subi is their staff. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They know their stuff and are happy to help the professional to the total novice like myself. The other good thing is that flash your student card for 15% discount. The Subi store is also open on Sundays, which is great if you are working on a last minute uni assignment and need a speciality art product. Of course, I would never procrastinate and leave an assignment til the last minute :)

For the artistically inclined Jacksons is the shining light in the art supplies tunnel of love. With over 16 stores the prominent art store passes on the savings of their strong buying power. For everything from pencils to canvases, paints and books on how to paint, you are covered at this one stop artistry shop.

Finally a pro-student arts supply store. I had racked up a $ 200+ bill for a variety of supplies I needed for uni, and once the chick at the counter saw my defeated expression, she promptly asked me for my student ID so she could give me 15% off. I complied, and got a nice discount. She advised me to be more proactive and ask for student discounts in all shops I visit, and that I’d be surprised at how many are willing to give us student’s a break. I have taken it onboard with great success. Anyway, this place has a variety of art supplies depending on your budget. There are high, medium, and lower quality products so there’s no lack of choice. Their canvas’ are a little expensive and there isn’t too many brands to choose from. Other than that, one will be spoilt for choice.

Jacksons is a haven for any lover of drawing, painting and making things. Whether you’re after pencils, paints, pastels, paper, paint brushes or other alliterative art supplies, Jacksons has a wide selection which will probably satisfy your desires. They have some cute craft stuff too, including some gorgeous patterned papers, which is great if you like making greetings cards like me. The girls who work in the shop are lovely, chatty and really helpful, and always do their best to help you find what you need. It’s one of those shops which is a joy to wander around, and I invariably find that I come out with a few more things than I intended to buy.
