With Summer showing the first signs of conceding to Autumn, this weeks window celebrates the change of the seasons, with the Autumnal prints of Melvyn Evans, and original paintings of John Russell, contrasting with the summery playfulness of Quentin Blake and Anna Pugh. If you fancy trying your hand at Lino printing, come in check out our range of tools and materials.

Olympic Games: Rio 2016
Can you believe 4 years have passed since the London Olympics?! Tonight Rio de Janeiro hosts the opening of the 2016 Olympic Games. To get into the sporting spirit we've recreated the Olympic rings using various art materials that can be found in the shop, including our freshly restocked Pebeo art materials.
Go Team GB!
Summer of Sport
Never mind the football, we have a spanking England rugby shirt signed by none other than England players Manu Tuilagi, Owen Farrell, Chris Robshaw and Mike Brown. This would be a superb addition to any fanatic's collection. We also have lots more sporting goodies including prints for sale in the gallery: rugby, cricket, football ...
Otherwise we're still in with a chance with the Tour de France and Wimbledon, so we're keeping our fingers crossed!
July in Colour: Quentin Blake and more
A window to celebrate summer-time reading and making art. There is something about the bright mid-summer that invites dreaming, it is a time for disappearing into the garden for reading about far-away places and kingdoms. We have a print of Peter Pan created out of the full text of the book, a perfect gift for dreamers young and old. Proving to be a huge hit with our customers we have acquired editions of Quentin Blake illustrations of our favourite Roald Dahl stories. You might be going to see The BFG at the cinema, but did you know that there is currently a spectacular exhibition of Quentin Blake's illustrations of The BFG at the House of Illustration in London?
As the summer holidays draw nearer, school leavers all over are celebrating their achievements. What better than to have a momento of that day when you sign your best friend's shirt? We have lots of fabricolor pens in stock just for the occassion. They are also ideal for decorating t-shirts, caps, plimsolls, bags ...
Artists who Lunch
Here at Sevenoaks Art Shop we are very excited to see the opening of 'Bills' just across the road so we thought we'd showcase some of our brightest and best art and prints for the viewing pleasure of those enjoying good food and great service over the road.
We've had a recent restock of items from designers U Studios including gorgeous graphic notebooks along with a selection of bold and quirky occasion cards.

Featured Artist: Sam Toft
Featuring in the window this week is Sam Toft, whose prints feature her characters, Mr. Mustard, his dear lady wife Violet with an eccentric host of pets, friends and sheep. Working in Pastel, pencil and unusual mixed media techniques, she creates an idiosyncratic world that evokes trips to the seaside in nostalgic colours and inimitabe style. She has exhibited work at numerous solo shows in London and across the UK. We are exhibiting a number of limited edition signed prints in the upstairs gallery, alongside smaller prints and greetings cards in our shop.
Hello, March. New Window!
Treat your mum to a beautiful card this mothers day as displayed in our window!
The girls worked hard on Saturday to brighten up our display just as spring approaches, with a fresh theme decking the windows out with vibrant floral landscapes and inspiring craft supplies for starting spring themed art projects.
Spring Window Exhibition
We have rearranged our collection on display in the windows with a nod towards the winter landscape, with striking tree-lined avenues in photographs and skilled atmospheric watercolours by Mac McKeown. With a view towards spring, we have charming original work by Any Shattock and delightful prints from Sam Toft on display. The exhibition continues in our upstairs gallery.
