Deen’s is right next to the college and we can walk to it if we need to get materials urgently. It’s quaint and cozy, reasonably priced and the owner knows everyone by name. That sort of personalized service is rare.
The best thing about the shop is the sheer variety of art supplies that you can find – from sketch books to brushes and acrylics. It’s close to where we live so that’s an added bonus.
This is one of our favourite spots in Lahore – it’s peaceful and one can browse here for hours, looking for gems and often finding them. We have managed to find great books on art. We buy some of our supplies from Iran when we visit in the summer and our friends at NCA are always amazed at the interesting materials we manage to get our hands on. Iran has local brands that produce great quality material.
