Our Shop

Our brick-and-mortar shop is situated in the heart of Hove's popular Portland Road shopping area. Fondly referred to as 'the Aladdin's Cave of art supplies' by our customers, our shop offers a vast range of materials from arts & crafts to stationary and everything in between.

Our dedicated staff, all of which are working artists, are passionate about sharing their advice and knowledge.
