Today I went to a British Art Store called Hobby Craft for the first time in 3 years! I only went to a British art store for the first time in 2019 with my friend Jamie and filmed it, you can see that one below -

As someone in the UK it's wild to think of Hobbycraft as having cheaper prices than US stores! The Works paint is cheap and cheerful, but it's my go-to shop for brushes and their gouache set isn't half bad for the price.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE VIDEO: Is the fact that Close goes to the art store and says "I'm not going to buy any paint" but she does anyways, that rings a bell, when I say I'll go to the art store only to look I won't buy anything, and there I go buying more then 100$ worth of art supply. The art store for artist is heaven on earth!!!

Thank you for this! It sounds ridiculous but it's actually made me appreciate the prices of our art supplies in the UK a bit more. To me hobbycraft is extortionate compared to other places (especially if you want poscas) but then when you compare it to US prices it seems like nothing

As a brit who's go to stores are Hobbycraft and the Works, this video gives me so much life! It's often hard to see so many states based shopping vlogs and be jelous of whats available over there so seeing you joy for what we have is so nice!!!

Nobody else does art supply shopping vids quite like this! The authentic excitement and "kid in a candy store" energy combined with a professional's savvy make these some of our favorites. And, in case you were wondering, the answer is yes, we are dying of jealousy watching her shop someplace else!

We always think of Hobbycraft as extremely expensive! I think you’re the first person I’ve known whose described it as reasonable! I’m surprised it has more craft stuff then Michaels, I’ve always wanted to go to Michaels! My dream is to do a trolly dash in Hobbycraft and be allowed to just grab craft kit after craft kit (and then ribbon!). Post Pals buys so much stuff from The Works, it’s our go to place for craft kits for the kids.
Loved your enthusiasm!

It amazes me how British your accent is after so long in USA

Love that advent calendar!! 🏡 🎄 - I kept envisioning Chloe getting on her international flight wearing every piece of clothing she brought because the rest of her case was full of art supplies 🎨 😂😂😂🎉

Fellow Brit here and if you want to check out other art shops here another time Cass Art or Jackson’s Art are amazing. A lot smaller scale compared to Hobbycraft but perfect for Artists. (Cass Art & Jackson’s also have a huge selection online).

Holy hannah, Faber Castell is so expensive in America then? Like, I knew it was a German brand (and I am Dutch) but never realised they would be so much more expensive in America because of the import. Now I understand why Prisma colour is more used there haha

My favorite part of the video is where you test and try out the products that you bought

@naly202 3 years ago

I simply can't understand how you kept your beautiful British accent living in the US for so many years.

@salliexx7631 3 years ago

You should do a video about using all these art supplies you bought

@wondercarrot362 3 years ago

What I loved about this video is seeing UK craft stores from an American perspective. Hobbycraft has always seemed quite expensive here when you compare it to shops like The Range, so it’s interesting to hear that art supplies like this are more expensive in America. It’s definitely made me appreciate Hobbycraft a lot more 😅
Also I’m actually doing the Winnie the Pooh cross stitch kit you picked up atm for my sister, so that was fun to see.

@poppletop8331 3 years ago

You could package the items, take the box to a Post Office...then post the stuff to your home address yourself. That way you could buy more.🤣

@horizon319 3 years ago

My favorite thing about the video is that I spent the entire time saying, buy what you want and SHIP IT HOME! 😂
But also I loved seeing your joy in the store and I really appreciate the comparison between the UK and the US.

One day, I’d love to see you go to an expensive boutique style art store either in the US, the UK or even both!

@salliexx7631 3 years ago

Who else thought Chloe’s accent is bit Australian?

@Charky_Creations 3 years ago

Love watching you go into Hobbycraft and comment on how cheap it is... It's usually classed as one of the expensive shops here! If we want cheap it'd say somewhere like The Range or TKMaxx is more affordable.
