I’m getting in touch as we are selling my father, Barry Watkin’s art paper at big discounts and wondered if your members would be interested in any? He was a local artist specialising in both mediums.
It’s available to collect from Bishops Lydeard by appointment – please see details below. Or it is possible to arrange delivery if you’re not too far away.
It is possible to buy smaller packs than those shown.
We also have a selection of Unison soft pastels for sale at £1 each.
Best wishes,
Caroline
Good day and apologies for intruding on your time, but this is a genuine offer to help.
I would like to introduce ourselves, up until a few months ago my wife and I ran an arts & crafts supplies shop on a local High Street and when the lease came up for renewal, as we are in our 70’s we felt it was time to retire!
Despite having a great sale before we closed the shop, we still have quite a bit of stock left over and we would like to offer that to your club/class members.
We have over 100 tubes of watercolour paint, Daler Rowney and Winsor & Newton Artist quality, and we are offering these at less than cost price, plus loads and loads of other art items.
All the remaining stock is in our online shop that can be found at
In addition to art items we have a fair stock of items for crafters, from card makers to calligraphy and sewing AND ALL OTHER TYPES OF CRAFTING and we think you will be pleasantly surprised at the savings you can make.
For peace of mind all payments will come through Paypal as secure payments.
If you do not feel your members will be interested in our sale then we apologise in advance for troubling you, but if you feel this could be of benefit, especially in these inflationary times perhaps you could circulate our email to your members.
Respectfully
Bob & Anne
