We originally opened a shop in order to sell our own artwork ~ Steve specialises in Pastel Landscapes which are full of vibrant colour and Jacqui has a range of over 60 Pen and Ink Drawings of local landmarks which she markets as signed limited edition prints. Shortly after opening we approached a number of local artists and offered to exhibit their work and at the same time we started to stock Art Materials.

We quickly outgrew our original shop and moved to our current prestigious High Street location. It has always been our dream to own the sort of shop that we as artists' would love to visit, with every nook and cranny crammed full. Our own "Aladdin's Cave" now stocks a huge range of art and craft materials as well as models, educational toys and kits, paper craft, greetings cards, handmade ceramics and china. Plus our in-house framing department is able to offer both bespoke and contract Picture Framing, while are gallery stocks prints from both Demontfort Fine Art, Washington Green and artwork from local artists. In our shop we stock products from Daler Rowney, Winsor & Newton, Do Crafts, Games Workshop, Bob Ross, Staedtler, Glue Dots, Molenniums, Games Workshop, Do Crafts, Hama, Pebeo, and many more. 

Our online shop stocks only a fraction of what is available in the shop so if there is anything that you cannot find in our online shop please do not hesitate to ask and if we do stock it we will be able to take your order over the phone and mail it to you. We hope you will enjoy shopping with us and please feel free to email or telephone us for advice at any time.
