Artful

Closed.The website says the service has closed. Its site says Artful's quarterly subscription is no longer available and points buyers to past boxes sold at Ohh Deer (date not stated).

What's in the box: Each box held a curated set of art tools and supplies for one medium, plus instructions and guides.

Artful, a quarterly art subscription from the UK stationery and gift brand Ohh Deer, has closed, and you can no longer subscribe. The site now sends shoppers to Ohh Deer, where some past boxes and art supplies are still sold. While it ran, Artful called itself an art school in a box. Each quarterly box focused on one art medium and came with a selection of tools, materials and instructions, so subscribers could try a new technique without gathering supplies themselves. Guides and tutorials went with the boxes, and the site still has a tutorials section on specific mediums and projects. Artful said the boxes suited creators of all levels, from beginners to experienced artists who wanted to try something new. The site does not say when the subscription ended, what the boxes cost, or which past boxes are still in stock. If you want to see what the format was like, your only option now is to buy a single past box from Ohh Deer, and stock may be limited. If you want an ongoing drawing or sketching subscription, you will need to look elsewhere, because Artful no longer sends new boxes.
