Who's in the gallery this month? 🎨

This month we're featuring the work of Mags Elliott.

After a career in landscape architecture, Mags returned to her first love of art and now works as an artist full-time. Her vibrant pastel work is full of colour and energy, alongside paintings and detailed illustrations.

If you're popping into the shop, make sure you take a few minutes to have a look around the gallery. It's always nice to discover a local artist and hear the story behind their work ☺️

📍 On display now in our Ilkley gallery.

Did you know we’ve got dedicated kids sections in both our Ilkley & Northallerton shops? 🎨

Packed with paints, pens, colouring sets, sketchbooks and plenty more for little budding artists 👩‍🎨✨

Perfect for rainy afternoons, weekend projects, or the child who’s constantly covering the fridge in masterpieces 😅

The Ilkley Open is nearly here, which means our window’s had a tennis-themed makeover 🎾

We’ve already spotted a few dogs on their way back from the park slowing down to eye up the tennis balls in the display…
We can neither confirm nor deny that one nearly walked into the glass while staring 👀🐶

If you’re heading through town during the Open, keep an eye out for our window display!

Can we just show some appreciation to our trusty table easels…
They really do go through a lot 😅🎨

Paint splashes, wonky sketches, late-night ideas, cups of tea balanced dangerously close… and somehow they just keep going.

One of the most underrated bits of studio kit if you ask us 👀

A day in the life of an artist preparing organic inks.
This honesty from my garden is at the perfect stage to release it's pigment!
I'm hosting a workshop on Saturday at
I think there's a place left.
