NEW NEWS.....

FIRSTLY...

THE BAD NEW NEWS...

Sorry to say that as of Sunday 29th August, we won't be open on Sundays. The reason we are doing this is so that Monday through Saturday we can have more staff on hand to continue, as well as develop the help and efficiency that we have brought to you in the past. We are sorry if this has inconvenienced anyone, but you can always shop 24 hours round the clock at our online store.



NOW, THE GOOD NEW NEWS...

As some of you may know, we have been selling artists prints and books on behalf of the up and coming, as well as established artists. Well now, we're pushing it a bit more, so if any of you have some prints, paintings, illustrations or books that you have made, and want somewhere to peddle them out (both in store and online), give us a ring or an email and we'll be more than happy to have a look and see if we can get them out onto streets and across the world. Contact us at 0207 831 1151 / 0207 831 1462 to speak to either Matthew or Riikka, or email us at shop@falkiners.com


Thats all for now, see you soon......

We're back!!!

Ahem.... Ahem...

It's been a while but, like the Jedi, we have returned. And we're striking back like The Empire (not that Shepherds is an Empire at all!). Just wanted to get back in touch with everybody to let you know that there have been a few minor changes at the store.

Firstly, want to say a fond farewell and big thanks to our now former Retail Manager, William McCracken, who is moving on to brand-spanking-new pastures in Worcester where he's currently setting up the British Leg of The Japanese Paper Place. We'll still be working closely with him to continue bringing you all the best in Japanese Fine Art & Decorative Paper. Good luck the ol' boy!!! Have a look at what he's up to here:

From now Riikka Kassinen and Matthew Phillips are now the store managers & Joe Dixon is heading up our (very nearly ready to go) courses at the Southampton Row Branch. As has always been the case though, all the staff will be more than happy to help with knowledge, support and advice wherever they can.

!!!!!!!RED HOT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you checked out our 'RED HOT SUMMER SALE"? No? Well, during the month of August we have reduced many items in our favourite crimson shades to celebrate all the heat and sunburn that everybody has been enjoying (up to now at least). Get over to the site to get some incredible bargains before the end of August which includes paper, portfolios, bookcloth, brushes, leather, etc...
