Primary art is gloriously messy. Paint ends up on sleeves, glue finds its way onto tables, and somebody always tries to model a dinosaur twice the size of the clay. Scola has been making materials for exactly that kind of classroom in Britain for more than a century, so they're designed to be easy to use, easy to clean up and easy on the budget.
Most teachers know the brand for its paint. Scola Artmix is a ready-mixed tempera that pours straight from the bottle, with no powder to mix and no lumps to chase. Use it neat for bold colour or water it down for washes, and because the colours intermix, a handful of bottles covers the whole spectrum. Want a glossy finish for a display piece? Stir in a little PVA. Artmix comes in 5 litre bottles for the paint station and an assorted pack of twelve 600ml bottles for individual tables.
For older pupils ready to step up, the Scola System acrylic pack gives you ten 500ml colours, from cyan and magenta to burnt sienna, that grip paper, card, canvas, ceramic and wood. Browse our full range of paints, inks and palettes.
Then there's the glue. Blue Label PVA washes out wet or dry, which makes it the sensible choice for younger children and anyone's school jumper. When a project needs real holding power for fabric, board or collage, Red Label strong craft PVA dries clear and stays put. Find both among our art and craft adhesives. For 3D work, a 12.5kg block of Scola air drying clay goes a long way across a whole class, and it hardens without a kiln. See more modelling materials.
Scola also covers textiles, with fabric paints and batik dyes, and chunky chalk made for small hands. Stocking up for the new term? Get in touch and we'll put together a quote for your school.
