About Us

Our story · Since 2008

Bringing Ukrainian craft
to artists around the world

We started in Kyiv. We arrived in England. And we brought the colours with us.

How it began
2008

First online store in Kyiv

We launched our first e-commerce store selling hobby and craft supplies in Ukraine. It started small — but the response from the creative community was immediate. Artists, crafters, students. People who made things.

2012

Discovering ROSA — and visiting the factory

We expanded into fine art materials and added ROSA to our range. We visited their production facility and saw firsthand how seriously they approached quality — the pigments, the binders, the testing. Ukrainian artists had trusted ROSA for years, and the feedback we received confirmed why.

2022

War. And a new beginning in England.

On the 24th of February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Like millions of Ukrainians, we were forced to leave our home. We arrived in England — and we brought with us something we knew was worth sharing with the world.

Now

ArtDrawCrafts — ships from the UK

Today we run ArtDrawCrafts from Stoke-on-Trent, bringing professional Ukrainian art supplies to painters, illustrators, and makers across the UK, Europe, and North America.

Why ROSA

We've seen how these paints are made

We didn't choose ROSA because it was convenient. We chose it because we stood in their factory and watched the process. We saw the raw pigments, the quality checks, the care that went into every batch.

Ukrainian artists have trusted ROSA for decades — professional painters, art schools, illustrators. The feedback we received over years of selling was consistently the same: the quality is real.

When we moved to England, bringing ROSA with us wasn't a business decision. It was personal. These are paints we believe in, made by people we respect.

We stood in their factory and watched the process. It wasn't a team producing commodity paints — it was a team that genuinely cared about what artists needed.

Made in Ukraine

Every purchase supports Ukrainian production

Ukraine has a deep and rich tradition of art, craft, and design. ROSA has been part of that tradition for decades — manufacturing professional-grade paints trusted by artists across Europe.

When you buy from ArtDrawCrafts, you're not just buying art supplies. You're supporting a Ukrainian brand that continues to produce and employ people through an extraordinarily difficult time.

We think that matters. And we think the quality speaks for itself.
