Splash

I’m a bit of an arts and crafts geek and Splash doesn’t disappoint. With a window full of colourful paints and cards I was drawn straight inside.
If you’re a professional artist or merely want a paint-​by-​numbers then Splash is the place to head. With rows of acrylics, oils, and canvases it’s hard not to feel inspired in here.
There are some pictures on display in here but nothing that special. I’d say if you were looking for some serious art then head to some of the places at the Docks, but here if you just want a start-​up creative kit then Splash caters to all your needs.
The staff are really chatty and always up for a conversation on art!

This place is great a real little art haven for the more creative student types situated right in the heart of student central Smithdown.
They have a bit of everything here, arts and crafts paints ect and even a small selection of cards. This is a great place for people of any age, if you are a serious artists then they should have most of the specialist equipment you need and for children there is plenty available also.
The staff are helpful and happily spend time with you catering to your needs and supplying you with all that you need to either get started in the art world or continue a passion you may have held for years.
This place really put a smile on my face as it is in the middle of pubs’ bars fast food restaurants and really stuck out as a good quality alternative shop which indulges the passions of the people.

A little bit of everything but not enough of anything — quite proud of that succint review but er, what? more specific? oh, right well err…
There are some cards but well only a small selection that will cover the broadest spectrum of events and celebrations but on the other hand many are made by local designers and artists so you wont feel like you’re just handing over conveyor belt message.
Some art supplies but well yes only the basic oil and acrylic paints but then you’re not getting a Rennie’s city centre style supplier here this is a local neighbourhood art supplier-​cum-​stationary shop that will, I’m sure order anything vital at your convenience whilst providing the basics on your doorstep.
Gallery? Well there are a few pictures but, well yes this part is a bit pony… I think the owner just wanted somewhere to exhibit her stuff.
