I've walked past this shop may times after work and always thought it looked well stocked, but when…read moreI went in to get gift vouchers for an artistic relative last week I was totally blown away by just how much is in here. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and there's a great range of everything artistic you could possibly need. The only problem I could see was the lack of fabric paints, but that seems to be the way in Edinburgh recently so I don't think it's much of an issue here. But wow. It's also the first shop where I have ever seen the full range of Uni Posca markers on display, especially alongside the fantastic Montana spray paints. So yeah, I have the feeling I will be going back in and spending far too much money on creative supplies that I'm really not very good with. :-D

This place is like a shop from the past and in some ways it is, in that traditional values of…read morehelpful service are in abundance. I found that they have an ancient printing press and can demonstrate letterpress printing. They also are able to do traditional book binding as well as colour photo copying, a run of business cards even raffle tickets. They sell a range of art materials from half pans, tubes of professional grade watercolours acrylics and oil paints. Then you can have all kinds of specialist paper that can be cut to size. And if you are into paper, then ask about their Paper Making Museum.

This looked like an interesting shop that gave little away from the outside, and so I ventured in…read moreto investigate further. What this shop offers that sets it aside from others nearby is a range of (mainly artistic) hobby products. This includes various types of paints, brushes and even Revell model aircraft kits I used to construct as a child that I haven't seen out with a model shop for years. As well as this, there is a good selection of useful stationery including school type jotters, which can sometimes be a rare find, and pipe cleaners! Something that is on every Blue Peter watchers wish list. The staff were very friendly and I enjoyed having a good chat with the owner about the local area and her shop. The pricing however, seemed quite variable and I felt myself slightly concerned at the apparent expense of some of the stationery products. However, I'm rating relatively high purely for the nostalgic value added by the model kits and the availability of artistic products which can be quite hard to come by.

I used to be a massive fan of Burns and Harris years ago. They had a wide range of art supplies and…read morethe staff were very knowledgeable. They still have a reasonable range of supplies but I do feel it has diminished compared to what it used to be. It can be a little overpriced too. It's kinda claustrophobic inside which doesn't do it any favours either. I tend to only go there these days if I can't find an item elsewhere and think they might have it. It's not a bad shop overall, but I do find myself going to Edinburgh for stuff they used to stock.

Burns and Harris also offers a small selection of magazines to buy.

All the stock is very good quality and hence comes with a slightly higher price than you may find say in a supermarket. Keep your eyes peeled for notices for various art classes and art exhibitions. They have a very big selection of these amazing Japanese marker pens, which I can never get enough. The shopkeeper is lovely and chatty, and if you can't find anything, it's best to ask, because the shops small size makes it quite crammed with stuff. All in all, a great place to quench your artistic thirst for equipment, and with the student discount it makes it a bit more affordable.

For a capital city with a large art school, Edinburgh has a sore lack of art supply shops. So this…read moretiny store is one of your few options. I am just so pooped out by this shop, it only really has the basics and I find their pen and paper stocks too limiting for my needs. My main huge bug bare is the staff. They seem to have a broom up their asses and talk down to you. Aka I'm asking for something specific, I must know what I'm doing, please dear god don't patronise me in your shop. I end up walking to the art shop in the ECA as it's cheaper, has more paper stock and a couple of the staff are super helpful.

As well as the paints and markers, there is also some interesting artwork by local artists adorning the walls, alongside other trinkets for sale which would make nice gifts. They also advertise an artist for hire service for graffiti art workshops/classes and custom artwork which could liven up some dull spaces in the city. The member of staff was also helpful and polite in answering some novice questions about graffiti art... A recent makeover means there is also some nice design work on the frontage and more artwork on display - a nice surprise on revisiting. One good reason to come and have a look at this part of the Cowgate!

There is also a gallery space at the front of the shop with prints and originals which is nice as it suits budgets large or small. The shop also appears to have had a bit of a revamp recently with a new layout/products - see picture attached. I think they also offer graffiti classes and commissions. Definitely worth a visit!!

Oh my word, this is the BEST craft shop!…read more They sell everything you could want, and really tasteful versions of it, not tacky cheap looking craft stuff. Kokosnoot's craft supplies are classy! They have over 200 types of ribbons, and beautiful buttons, and lots of craft tools. But the felt! Oh the felt! They have a great range of felt - both loose felt for needle felting and felt sheets, in lovely colours. I bought a lovely gift card too - they have a good range of beautiful designs. This is easily the best stocked craft shop I've been in - it's so much better than anywhere in Glasgow. I would actually come here from Glasgow in order to buy craft goods. It's that good.

Cute little art supply shop!…read more It does what it says on the tin: it's an art supply store. It carries a good number of high end artsy bits and bobs. Sure, this place is a little pricey, so I wouldn't pop in for every day stationary or office stuff, but if you're looking for something in particular, it would be a good place to pop your head in. I went in seeking sealing wax... because yes, I happen to find wax sealed cards delightful and was happy to see they had a few options. Again, tipping towards the higher price side of things, but they had real wax sticks and not the plasticky "hot glue gun" wax seal knock offs. Kudos. They also seem to have a variety of prints and canvases downstairs, but I must admit, i've never ventured down. I usually run in here in the midst of some crafting emergency, so there isn't much time to snoop. Service has always been friendly and helpful, if a bit quiet.
