sorry cant help you for Gozo - George (GnG) can probably help as he lives their. The only artists shops I can think of is one in Bugibba just off the square and one in Mosta on the main road.

Ok thank you. I don't remember coming across one on Gozo. There seem to be a fair no of artists on the Islands so they must get their materials somewhere ! I'll check out the two you mentioned, thanks.

Hi

There are several shops in Valletta, a couple straight down from the main gate.

Sorry, can't help you out with stores in Gozo. I'm a design student in Malta and get all my supplies from either:聽

VeeGeeBee - San gwann or Valletta聽
Hobby world - Mosta
Art academy- Mosta

Art academy is my favorite,聽 they have a huge selection of brushes. I also think you can shop online with hobby world.
