LT Easel is a WooCommerce block theme for art supplies stores with a large catalogue, shown as an art supplies superstore with paint, brushes, paper, canvas, drawing, printmaking and studio furniture in ten departments. It has a paint-swatch hero with a product search over a band of colour chips, a mega menu, compact product grids with colour dots on every card, a colour chart, a quick order list for schools and studios, bulk prices, artist / school / studio trade tiers, a workshop calendar and click & collect, all on WooCommerce's own blocks. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit, so an assistant can rebrand and extend the store safely.

AI kit (Pro Unlimited)

With the AI kit an assistant can set up your departments and mega menu, add your colours as tags and chart chips, write product descriptions with item codes and specifications, and rebrand the store in theme.json without breaking the block markup. It follows rules that keep pigment and safety placeholders, B2B and booking plugin notes and sample labels in place until you confirm the facts.

Example prompt: Set up this LT Easel store for my art shop "Harbour Lane Art Supplies" (sample): departments Paints, Brushes, Paper, Canvas, Drawing and Printmaking, one store at 4 Quay Street open Mon–Sat 9:00–17:30, click & collect from 10:00 when ordered by 16:00, free delivery over $60, 30-day returns on unopened items. Use the Viridian Green style with my brand colour #1F5E4B, update the department cards and mega menu, and write the trade tiers for artists and schools.

See AI kit for the files, the prompts and the Abilities.

Before you go live

Everything in the demo is sample content: products, prices, specs, reviews, addresses and opening times. Replace it with your own, or delete it, and follow the going-live checklist. Pro Unlimited: python3 tools/check-theme.py --launch in the theme folder lists every sample left.

Demo photos

The live demo of LT Easel shows real photos; the theme uses its own illustrations and placeholders. The photos are from Pexels, free to use under the Pexels licence (credit is not required, but we thank the photographers):

Questions about LT Easel

How do the colour dots on product cards work?

Each product's colours are WooCommerce product tags, such as Ultramarine blue or Lemon yellow. The theme shows them as round colour dots on every card and links the colour chips in the hero to the same tag pages. Each colour has its own token in theme.json.

Can schools and studios get their own trade prices?

The Trade account page and the tier, quick order and bulk price sections show how school and studio accounts work. Trade price lists, invoices and ordering by item code need a WooCommerce B2B or quick-order plugin.

Are the pigment codes and safety details real?

No. The colour chart and the product pages use sample pigment codes and a placeholder pigment and safety section. Replace them with the details from each maker's colour chart and safety data sheet.

Can customers book workshops?

The workshop calendar shows sample sessions with dates, levels, places and prices. Online booking needs an events or bookings plugin; until then the buttons point to your contact page.

How are the departments and the mega menu set up?

The demo has ten top-level product categories (departments) with sub-categories under five of them. The first item of the header menu holds them and opens as a five-column panel with colour dots on desktop.

Can I use it for a craft or stationery shop?

Yes. Rename the departments, colours and chart; the large-catalogue sections work for craft, hobby, stationery and school supply stores.
