Arts & Graphics & Draftline

Arts and Graphics is a brilliant source for art and craft materials, with a spacious layout inside both upstairs and downstairs (ideal for lengthy browsing sessions, without getting in anyone’s way so to speak). The staff are always friendly and helpful, offering good advice on products when consulted.
Their product range is up to date and on trend, with a wide variety for all levels of experience in crafting.
They offer a reward points system, which is a lovely bonus to us avid crafters, who tend to ‘spend rather a lot’.
This shop has to be one of my favourite haunts and I highly recommend it to anyone of the creative breed.

This is a good sized shop which has been established for a long time offering supplies for fine art and crafts.
They have a wide range of well known brand name supplies for fine art and crafts such as card making, beading supplies and kits for children.
Not necessarily the cheapest place but locally the place you are most likely to find what you need, especially if its something a bit more specialist.
Also ideal for gifts for family and friends who are in to crafting as they do gift vouchers. Mail order is also available for those who perhaps can’t get to the shop.
I have always found the staff to be friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and the shop clean, tidy and well laid out.
