Fostering Artistic Adventures

Joan of Art are wife and wife team, Thea and Suki Wilkins. We have been sketching together since we met in Brighton, UK. Our shared background in illustration, love of making art and appreciation for art materials came together to spark the humble beginnings of Joan of Art. It began with a stall at an artists market selling travel art kits made from up-cycled vintage tins. Before long, we packed up our paints and Cushion, our cat and ventured to the wild and rugged coast of North Devon. In a stone cottage in the forest, the original Sketching Tin was created with the help of many awesome Kickstarter backers around the world.
