At this little shop they offer a fast, friendly and reasonable service though. They have a good deal of frames already made up which works out cheaper than having one made from scratch and the staff will happily mount your print up while you wait for a small charge. There was some fantastic prints and canvases in the window and on the shop floor. From Steve McQueen on the famous 'Great Escape' bike to some lovely ambient seaside paintings, you could really spend a lot of money here and have a house looking like a gallery.

Who-ever coined the phrase starving artist must have shopped at Lawrence!…read more A one-stop shop for artists, it's a brilliant but expensive store that sells everything an artist could need from brushes, pencils, pastels and paints to paper, canvases, easels and cleaning fluids. There's also a small selection of screen printing materials, woodblock equipment and drying racks for budding Warhols and more crafts-based artists. The shop is a long walk from Brighton and central Hove so it's best to grab a bus or lift from friends. They also have an online shop which stocks most of the things in the store and the staff are super knowledgable too. If they don't stock something, they'll probably be able to advise you who does.

They have a car park tucked behind the shop which is very handy as its quite a way to go out of town and very hard to park on nearby.

This is THE place in Brighton for the professional artist.
