Arches is a historic paper brand that has become the go-to surface for artists worldwide. Located in the village of Arches in France, Arches has been producing paper using the traditional cylinder mould method since 1895. Their history extends back to the 1400s, when the mill was being created in the Vosges region.
Arches paper has a very good mechanical strength and is suitable for watercolours, pastels, charcoal, screen printing, gouache, print, drawing and more. Hobby Land has the most extensive range of Arches in New Zealand, including a wide range of watercolour paper in hot pressed, cold pressed, and rough finishes.
