Create and Craft at Congleton
We have had an e-mail from Paul Rowley who used to run this shop. Sadly the business had to close at the end of last year, but he has a stock of materials left and would like to offer them on a first come, first served basis to art societies. He has sent us a spreadsheet list of Daler Rowney paints - acrylics, oils and watercolours, plus some other items, which he is prepared to sell at 50% off the retail price. The list comprises small quantities of each paint, but there’s quite a good selection of colours. He also has a stock of Pro-arte brushes, canvases, portfolios, etc, which are not on our list. Lesley, Graham and I have a copy of the list of paints, so if you are interested, please contact one of us. If you don’t already have our e-mail addresses, you can get us via the Contact Us page. Members only please!
