Hard to believe we’ve been sweeping the doorstep (among other things) in Durham for 5 years as of May 15th. Thanks to all our customers and friends who have supported us with encouragement and buying locally. We really think it is a symbiotic relationship when a small business serves a small neighbourhood. If you miss our cake and tea on the day, you can raise a glass (or a paintbrush) with us anytime.

Cheers! Tim, Barb, Annika and Lydia

Sometimes the old is new again, and we are taking that to heart… our new line of Daler-Rowney Designers Gouache is making waves in our colour line. Amazing clay-like smooth feel is characteristic of this paint: you have to try it out! Rowney was the first company to produce a commercial line, and it shows.
