When I was a little kid, I would sneak through my dad's office supplies (to get clean bond papers) so that I can create my own "comic books" since I'm often stuck with scratch papers for my hobby. Scratch papers aren't really my thing. But that's already a thing of the past! Now, the only dilemma I have to encounter is "what specific material should I get for my artwork?" Right?
Here's an exciting news for all the Northern creatives in the art community. The Craft Central, home to over 110 talented artists, crafters and art brands opens its 2nd store in The Block, SM North EDSA! And it's even bigger and brighter than its pioneer store in Greenbelt 5!
What first started off as a little online shop in 2014, expanded into retail store as it opened its first branch at Greenbelt last year. That has also won the Most Promising Retailer Award for Greenbelt. Today, The Craft Central is marking another milestone by opening in one of the biggest mall in the Metro, SM North EDSA.
Staying true to its roots, The Craft Central continues to enable aspiring artists and professionals alike. It is a creative destination, offering its Instagram-famous inks, brushes, pads and the fan-favorite hobby starter kits.
With the growing number of art enthusiasts in the country, fans have long-awaited for a The Craft Central branch in the North. The new store is 2x bigger and boasts of an even wider assortment of brands.
The exclusive opening party happened last July 11 at 4F The Block, SM North EDSA, Quezon City. During the exclusive opening party, I was one of the lucky ones who got a chance to spend a creative afternoon in the newest store!
Here are some of the fun stuff that I got to try from them:
