The guy was quite rude, I was seriously looking into buying gel and fountain pens and the person thought we were messing around. Not most pleased. Now I'm buying them online.

Wow what an Aladdin’s cave of stationary and stuff … absolutely packed in you get a huge choice of the essential stationary and paper, and a great selection of art materials. The range of drawing and colouring pencils and pens is particularly impressive … if you need something they should have it, just be sure to look around. The staff were very helpful…

Amazing art shop, quality art products, especially the Caran d'Ache pencils this place is the only place to find Caran d'Ache products. I am really happy with my Graftwood pencils, I can't draw without them now! it's a bit of a drive from Leeds but worth it for the selection of Swiss pencils! The owner is very good at advising on art products too. Would highly recommend.
