Budding artists look no further! The Shire Art Station, part of our extensive Shire Furniture Range, provides a perfect solution for storing and organising art materials in any setting. With dimensions of 92cm in height, 114cm in width, and 40cm in depth, this compact yet spacious unit offers a practical way for young learners to access and self-select their art resources, encouraging independence and creativity in the classroom.

Our Shire Art Station features a variety of storage options to accommodate a range of art supplies. The shelving allows for neat and organised storage of materials, ensuring that paints, brushes, and other resources are easily accessible. The unit also includes a tall storage space specifically designed for rolls of paper, keeping them upright and tidy, while ribbons or other creative accessories can be hung neatly on the rails. Additionally, there are extra side shelves to provide even more space for paper rolls, helping to keep your art area clutter-free.

Designed with safety and stability in mind, the unit features rounded edges to prevent accidents during use and a wider base for added support. However, it is important to note that the Shire Art Station is not freestanding and must be securely placed against a wall or substantial furniture for safety.

Our Shire Art Station encourages organisation and independence as children learn to store and select their materials. The accessible design promotes creativity, fine motor skills, and problem-solving as they choose tools and materials for their projects. Furthermore, the station supports collaborative learning, as children can easily share and access resources together.

Assembly is required, and contents are not included.
