Shawe’s Art & Craft Materials

This is a very comprehensive art & crafts materials shop, and you can always find what you are looking for here — from canvases to portfolios, from kids crayons to drafting pens. The staff are very helpful too and can help you find your way around the slightly disarrayed shelves.
There is a large selection of cardboards and modelling materials, hobby and crafts supplies, and a wide selection of painting implements and pigments.
However I wouldnt say that it is good value for money, as even nearby shops can have better prices on the same items (John E Wrights for drafting supplies and Trent Uni shop for all else) but if you bother to search online you will be rewarded with even better prices yet.
