Pigments
PIGMENTS
Pigments
Dry powder pigments are the basis of all paints and by mixing with the relevant binder you can produce any of the common types of paint or your own unique effects.

We never recommend making your own paint as an economy measure because it is a time consuming process but it is well worth a try from an experimental point of view and to allow you to control what you use. We keep a good range of dry pigments in smallish sizes but can obtain big sizes to order quickly.
 
GOLD AND METAL LEAF
Gold & metal leaf
We stock genuine gold and imitation gold, silver and copper leaf plus sizes, shellac, burnishers and a very learned little book entitled “Practical Gilding” which tells you everything you will ever need to know on the subject. If you just want to have a go a quick chat with any of our staff should set you up with the basic technique and the confidence to get started.
 
ORMOLINE METALLIC BRONZE POWDERS & PAINT
Ormoline
Simpler than leaf these powders mix with our cellulose medium (and many other mediums) to give an excelllent gold paint with plenty of lustre. Choose from 12 shades. We also have a fabric medium for this. Or use the readymixed Ormoline Gold Paint which is premixed with the cellulose medium.
 
LIQUID METAL
Liquid Metal
This is gold powder suspended in an acrylic medium which is ideal for use on plaster, wood, paper and canvas. Available in 6 metallic shades it will not tarnish so you don't have to varnish it.
 
GLITTER
Glitter
Everybody loves glitter and we have it in different forms for everybody to enjoy. Roberson plastic glitter is serious professional glitter with particle size of… and is available in x colours including a black - very popular around Hoxton nightspots.
We have glitter for kids in different sizes and types of pots some with shaker lids and we have glitter glues - not quite as much fun but easier to apply and you don't have to keep sweeping it up for months.
