Re-Crafted: Tom's Studio x Winsor & Newton Paintbrushes

When two creative worlds meet, something special happens. Winsor & Newton’s heritage in fine art materials meets Tom’s Studio’s design-led approach to sustainability and modern craft.

Together, we’ve turned plastic waste from the Winsor & Newton factory – combined with other recycled plastics – into something new: beautiful, marbled brush handles designed to be used for years to come.

Each handle is made using waste plastic diverted from Winsor & Newton’s brush and paint manufacturing processes, and no two are the same. The result is a unique tool that celebrates reinvention – where thoughtful design meets material innovation.

Importantly, the brushes themselves are high-quality synthetic fibres – offering professional performance without the use of animal hair. Durable, responsive and suitable for watercolour, gouache and ink work, they’re designed to complement Tom’s Studio’s creative tools.

These limited-edition sets are available in two thoughtfully paired formats:
