My arty daughter usually gets gift vouchers for this shop and I love chumming her to spend them. It stocks real equipment for artists, but also stock kits that you could use with children. I sometimes pick up specialst paper here for card making. The staff are very good and know the stock. When my daughter was starting out they gave her some very good advice on what to buy. If you can't spend your whole gift voucher they'll just take off what you've spent, giving you more time to consider your purchases.
