ACCESSORIES

The Cosumnes River Drawing Support Tray (for use on the Stak Easel™)

was refined in response to an instructor request: a deeper space for his students to keep drawing tools close to hand, and an angled lip allowing

easy retrieval of pencils, etc.
Its two radii fit neatly against the Stak uprights and the front cutouts rest

on the Barnesville Clip.
Made of powder coated aluminum, it measures about 3½” x 18″.

Optional Palette Tray

To keep painting tools handy, we offer an optional Palette Tray for use with either the Slope or Stak Easel™. Measuring 18" x 12" plus handle, this aluminum tray has attachment points for use with a 10" x 13" plastic insert (available from Holbein). There are two openings for cups of water or thinner, and holes for a variety of brush handle sizes. Its adjustability allows users to keep materials level even when the Slope is tilted.

The Barnesville Stak Easel™ was designed for multi-use studios. Weighing only 18 pounds, it’s easy for even small students to stack to reconfigure your space

What's the big deal with two posts?

Many easels support work on only a single post. They may have three posts, but the locking unit, the principal point of support, is on the center post. 

Both the Barnesville Slope and Stak Easels™ are true two-post easels, providing stable support at two points

The Stak Easel™ uses a pair of clips to secure stretchers to the easel. Adjusting individually means they readily accommodate asymmetrical canvases.

The tensioning knob on the support ledge of the Slope Easel is centered, but it tightens the interior steel bar against both outside posts for maximum stability. We think this simple design choice results in the sturdiest, most dependable easels available—our two-post easels can reliably support the largest and heaviest artwork.
