Easels and drawing tables for every workspace and program.
From compact tabletop models to full studio easels and French easels, this collection covers the setups most commonly needed for art programs and studio courses. Lyre easels suit classroom and shared studio environments. Ratchet, convertible and crank studio easels handle sustained work on larger formats. French and field easels fold into a self-contained portable unit. Adjustable drawing boards complete the range for drawing, illustration and drafting work at a desk.
What to consider before buying an easel.
Format size is the first constraint: a tabletop easel won't hold a large canvas, and a full studio easel is impractical in a small apartment. Portability comes next: students who move between home, school and outdoor locations are better served by a French or field easel than a fixed studio model. For drawing and illustration work, an adjustable drawing board is often more practical than an easel altogether.
