Art Supplies

The place on Mallow street has closed, I think, is there anywhere else in town that I can get red clay. Easons only do grey as far as I saw.

I think there's a place in the Crescent that does art supplies. Or maybe Sykes on Catherine st.

M-sign on Mallow Street, still open!

M-Sign have the best rep when it comes to art supplies.
If they dont have what you need they will know where to get it.

Crescent HOBBY STORE is way over priced. I have never seen red clay there.
They have not got a clue. things that should be roughly 15 Euro are priced 30 and some things that should be about 50 are 30 crazy pricing. Can work in your favour sometimes but mostly not.

There is a supposedly a very good art store in Ennis. Got my father
to get me supplies when he was passing through before and the
prices were good. (For foamcore/paint/plaster etc)

Have been advised in the past for clay/latex & photography related items to
check out "Mary I" and the the art college who sometimes flog off their
spare or old supplies.

M sign in Upper mallow street is yes indeed still open. Compared to several
other places the prices of stuff are way better value. Stuff like paint
is way cheaper you get containers of paint about 3 times the volume
of other art/hobby stores for the same price.

You might check out the Hope Foundation charity shop in william street
there used to be some sort of art place/studio/shop thingy in or around there,
Not sure if it was a shop or just a gallery I never went in their just saw
the signs while passing.

Tried both M Sign and Silkes, neither of them had red kiln clay and won't be getting it in until september as it is a big order, sigh, I'll have to check out that one in Ennis.


(last time I was in M Sign they said they were closing down, forgot to ask this time)
