Reviews of Greyfriars Art Shop

I was looking for white pen or similar to add tiny highlights to my sketches. The shop rep was very helpful indeed though I had to disagree about the effectiveness on a graphite pencil drawing of the white gel pen.. hopeless. I think the staff are a bit shy, that's all - commenting on someone else's post here- they want to please and are also perhaps wary of The Bug! But my impression was of a great wee shop considering how little space there is. They do cram in a lot and they try to help if you ask.

Cute but pricy for what it is. Customer service Meh. *update* i was being very short, however let me just say i am a stationery enthusiastic and value good art tools. when i visited this store, i was really excited and was not greeted by the member of staff. i initiated a conversation and asked about paper quality, i bought some envelopes with very small student discount. the service was just disappointing. i love little independent stores, however this one, due to the staff, had no charm at all. and for this reason, selling expensive items, for example selling envelopes and matching cards at separate price, i find i would not recommend it to anyone.

Small but well stocked art shop. Prices were reasonable, especially for a cheap but decent quality sketchbook.

I. P.

I loved shopping art materials in there and canvases...though little expensive but worthwhile because advice by seller are excellent and I would recommend to anyone for visit and shopping too.

Little art supply shop. Has all the essentials. Could do with more variety!

m. c.

Absolutely fab! Lots of great art supplies at very reasonable prices

Good to see a business such as this surviving the lockdown. They have everything professional and amateur artists require and items which you would have a hard time obtaining anywhere else.

T. V.

Small shop with lovely staff and high quality art supplies. Decent student prices as well.

The shop is rather small but conveniently located. I was actually surprised at how large selection of art supplies they have. The sales lady is always friendly and helpful.

P. M.

Great shop to get better quality art supplies such as Fabriano paper and W&N paints. The stuff is great to talk to and very nice. I wish it was a tiny bit bigger since it can get very crowded!

K. J.

Really nice wee art shop. Staff were very friendly and offered advice on places to draw. Ended up spending an afternoon drawing in The Meadows after taking their advice and fairly enjoyed it.

B. F.

Staff are super friendly and try to help with all queries. Didn't have what I was after but they pointed me in the direction of where I could find it. Cozy, beautiful art shop.

I have just started a wee hobby. I was looking for some items staff were helpful and even made suggestions that might help me. However I find the shop a little overpriced.

N. B.

It is beautiful and full of stuff even if they dont have everything you need and it is very expensive, but still a lovely place. And people who work there are helpful

F. A.

It is one of the best shops for everyone interested in arts. Super helpful staff and great variety of stuff. They have probably everything for arts and craft. And just around the corner of Greyfriars Kirkyard.

A. M.

Well-stocked considering its small size. Convenient location for visitors to the museum, Greyfriars kirkyard, Greyfriars Bobby, etc. They also have a larger, more specialist shop in Dundas Street.

Went into the art shop today, and the staff were SO friendly, even waited til just after half 5 so I could pick up some materials! Have loads of different materials for different types of art, well worth a look!

Small inside, but has everything you should need. Choice of quality materials is excellent.
