Everyone has those little shop versions of nook and crannies; those places you feel most at home, where you can happily get lost for hours. Yours may be browsing book stores, H&M music section (reminiscing of times before itunes and such) or the latest Topshop sales. For me, it's art stores. Most recently, the lovely Cass Art in Liverpool.
Maybe you caught my post about the wonderful Cass Art package I recently received; well after that, I couldn't resist popping in store to see what else they had to offer me. I was absolutely thrilled to see that their store was SO much bigger than I expected! It's located at 18 School Lane Liverpool (next to the Bluecoat if you're local!) and from the outside it looks like an adorable, but small place. Well appearances certainly can be misleading, as the store goes right back and has a huge selection of every art supply you can think of, plus extra goodies you wouldn't think of!
The best thing about Cass Art, and the reason I wanted to feature them on my blog, is because of their genuine, total passion and enthusiasm for creativity. One of their biggest missions is to 'Fill this town with artists!' and make good quality materials and supplies available to everyone, at a low price. This is something I myself am SO GOD DAMN PASSIONATE about. One of my dreams with this blog is to inspire you guys to be creative, in whatever way that may mean. Too many people don't consider themselves creative people, and don't allow themselves to experiment with art; which really saddens me. I genuinely believe there is a creative outlet for everyone whatever their preference, and it could help them so much.
I only wish I'd had Cass Art on my doorstep when I was at college studying Art and Design; that would have saved me so much money! I could have gotten even more drunk on student nights!.. Ahh well. They're right on my doorstep now, with the Liverpool store being in the heart of Liverpool. I now use this store for when I need super amazing quality supplies for my design work, or when I just want to delve into the fun aspects of their stock. Like this amazing pack of Watercolour Postcards that I couldn't help but pick up. You can create pretty little watercolour paintings, then post 'em off to friends, family, whoever! Eep. This thrilled me far more than it probably should. You should all expect a project about this from me very soon...
I love sharing a selection of my favourite places with you guys! I hope you'll take a browse through the Cass Art website to find something that gets your creative juices flowing. Or even better, come and visit our Liverpool store; because it's pretty beautiful.
Let's fill this town with artists!

Oh em gee I had no idea this little store of glory was there! It looks amazing; so creative and inspirational, yet really modern. I'll have to venture down more little streets like this, I'm usually storming down to either Primark or cutting through to L1 when I walk down that way xx

I love that quote so much! This looks like such a cool place and now I am just itching to do something creative! - Tasha
ReplyDeleteThis store looks like my kind of heaven! I wish we had one in Norwich but I think my closest store is in London *cries*. It looks like such an inspiring place to wander and shop in; the quotes dotted about are such a nice touch and the displays look awesome. Now I want to get my pencils and drawing pad out!

How have I walked by here and NEVER been in? That place looks like an Aladdins cave of arty-goodies! I can't draw a stick man to save my life but there is something so nice about arty things! I can't get over the size of the place either! I'll have to take a wonder over and have a looksie!

I had no idea these kind of stores even existed! I just know I'd spend so much time in a place like this if there was one near me.
