FAS founder Frank Aitkin Smith (FAS)
FAS – Fine Art Supplier Ltd is a quality professional educational art paint manufacturer that makes higher grade paints for Schools.
We are committed to making affordable bright, bold and beautiful colours for school children in the classroom. Most educational paints manufactures are focused on a lower price resulting in lower grade painting experience for kids in the school classroom.
The factory was established in 1972 by the requests from the New Zealand Governments Educational Department (NZED) as they searched for high quality paints to meet the standards required for the New Zealand School Market. In 1972 NZED found no paint products met these standards so Frank Aitken-Smith (FAS) was asked to formulate higher quality art paint for the New Zealand schools. Thus; FAS | Fine Art Supplies was born and overnight became and still is today the leading brand of educational paints in New Zealand.
Our focus is “Quality First”.
The product range has grown to include Total Wash (totally wash from ALL kid’s clothes, Super Tempera, Student Acrylic, fabric inks, professional face paints and school inks.
All our products are non-toxic, environmentally friendly and conform to international safety standards ASTM D4237 & CE.
