They have a great stock of pencils, frames, paints, canvases, and art sets. They also have an amazing selection of fabric paints. A must visit if you're an artist, or just enjoy pretending to be Rolf Harris. Can you guess what it is yet?

There are often deals instore and, I must say, there is a great selection of charcoals and pencils, which is what I always use anyways.

This place rules. The prices on professional quality art supplies are great and the selection is…read morereally good, especially considering the shop's small size. They basically cut out the crap and sell the good shit actual artists want at a decent price. They do still carry nicer student watercolors (like Cotman) if you just want something to mess around with out in the city but professional level isn't what you're after.

How someone can give this place less than four stars is beyond me. If u don't like the stuff you…read moresee here, it's obvious you went into the store with the wrong premise to begin with. This place is amazing - its Asian kawaii. And it is magical, and a little beyond most adults. But being the forever imbiber of childlike ideas, this place seriously is like I've died and went to heaven. Great selection of stickers, notebooks, and honestly some tasteful and simple schedulers that one can actually get away with using for the working world if you don't mind being teased a little. Is mostly filled with Korean characters as well as some famous ones like moonin and Sanrio. (no San-x I can recall). Plushies, housewares, clothing, posters, and just an all out, no shame, full throttle kawaii explosion. Kawaii is an art form. Don't poop on it if you just don't get it.

Although Artbox was adorable, I wouldn't say it's a close representation to what's available at a…read moreSanrio store in Japan and has a smaller selection than you'd expect. The items also felt slightly dated and tended to lean towards certain characters like cinnamoroll with very little selection of black hello kitty or my melody. I half expected that Artbox would have a similar check out process to Japan, in which you received a small hello kitty bag tag on your bag and was disappointed when there wasn't. All in all, the items I purchased were adorable but the selection is small so if you drop in I'd recommend keeping expectations low.

Wouldn't humanity be much more interesting if we dressed up as alter-egos everyday, shielding our true identities from strangers, gallivanting around as heroes or truly heinous villains? I vote for 365 days of Halloween. Anyway, back to the shop. The main floor has an array of really cool randomness. Ashtrays, prints of Marilyn Monroe, games, keychains, tapestries, candles, incense, buttons, mugs; you name it they claim it. When I need to get a gift for someone I come here to buy it. Finding something cool here is guaranteed.

The shop is fresh and bright and always has an original display. Unlike to the other Cloth House on Berwick street, there I am always nicely welcomed. Of course the prices are nothing comparable what you could bargain for in Shepherds Bush. However, you know exactly what content the fabric is and you have a deep as well as wide selection. If you wonder what the big brown paper bags with the art deco face on it is - the brand mark of Cloth House unmistakable!

There were many photo opportunities and lots of demonstrations as well. The sales people worked for the store and there was no pressure at all.

There is also a cotton candy machine where you can watch it being made through the glass, all automated. We somehow left without purchasing anything due to our inability to take it back home.

Little background story to explain why I needed a stamp made in the first place:…read more I wanted to create an online account with a recruiting website, but they wouldn't recognise our company as legit unless we could provide them with a fax that had been stamped with a company stamp! "Are you serious?" I almost yelled at them, but then reconsidered and just decided to let it go and get a company stamp. This is when I discovered this little niche-store in Bloomsbury. The service was impeccable and also the making of the stamp was a breeze: I simply had to email them the design and I received a confirmation email within a few hours! The stamp was ready only 2 days afterwards....very good experience. (An image of the stamp that I received is uploaded to this business profile.)

He responded right away with a price which I then agreed to, and, in a couple of days, I went in to pick up the stamp. (They offer a delivery service, too.)
