Dinsdales Art Supplies & Stationery, 6 - 8 Chapel Place, Headingley, Leeds, LS6 3HY.
We have been established since James Dinsdale founded the business in 1883. During the past 135+ years we have been printers, sellers of office supplies and stationery and technical book sellers, but for decades now - we have concentrated upon art and design materials. The story began with James pushing a barrow around the streets of Leeds selling basic printing materials. Through his hard work – a shop situated by the bustling city station was founded, specializing in printing and the reselling of books.
Moving into the art world was a chance encounter. Dinsdales were producing a brochure for an art supplies customer, who subsequently went bankrupt. The bill was settled by payment of surplus art supplies. This was seen as a chance to expand the business. Dinsdales has never looked back, quickly establishing themselves as the most respected art store in the north of England.
Over 15 years ago, Dinsdales moved from the busy city centre to the more leafy and vibrant suburb of Headingley. You can now find us on the quiet side street of Chapel Place/Chapel Street just off Otley Road in central Headingley.
We understand our market and are proud of our heritage and independence. We always endeavoured to provide the best quality products with impeccable, enthusiastic service and - with your continued kind support – are pleased to do so for many years to come.
