Shop Talk: 3 indie art and craft shops
Get the creative juices flowing as Isy Santini selects three independent spots for art and craft lovers

Greyfriars Art Shop
For over 200 years, Greyfriars Art Shop has been supplying the people of Edinburgh with the best quality art supplies. Despite its impressive history, the shop remains welcoming and reasonably priced, stocking a wide range of paints, charcoals and calligraphy materials that knowledgeable staff will happily guide you through.
Greyfriars Art Shop, 1 Greyfriars & 20 Dundas Street, Edinburgh.
The Yarn Cake
This is not your average yarn shop but rather a dedicated knitting café. Enjoy a slice of cake and a coffee as you work on your latest masterpiece, whether knitting, crocheting, spinning or felting. Their twice-weekly knit nights are a great environment to meet like-minded friends.
The Yarn Cake, 201 Crow Rd, Glasgow.
Remode Collective
Selling handmade, one-of-a-kind products, Remode Collective is dedicated to repurposing textiles sustainably and helping the community. They offer sewing workshops for people of all abilities, as well as a free tailoring service.
