Here's the information I collected.....
The friendly man at the Arts centre was Ollie, his email is:
oli-t@blueyonder.co.uk
He studied his MA in Bristol in Graphic design, and I think he knows a lot about what places there are in Bristol.
Clifton - SOMA-
(4 Boyce's Ave)
It sells various beautiful items, and had a graphic, clean and print feel to it.
They do accept art, but are full at the moment until January.
They feature artists such as :
- Donna wilson (knitted, quirky animals and creatures)
- Louise Lockhart (print, bright)
- Alice Pattullo
- Anna Marrow
- Tom Frost
- Daisy Hurst
Paper smiths, on the corner from SOMA...
clean, graphic.... large premises and a load of different magazines and small press available to buy.
Pens and pencils with notebooks were simple with mono colour.
Here is Sids email - to ask for details on submissions.
We popped into UStudios.....
(35a Queens Road)
hello@ustudio.design
or
shop@ustudio.design
They usually get their designs from UStudios and their designers, or wholesale, however they were quite open for us to email and ask if they can accept submissions....
PITHAY

Last one we visited was PITHAY, it was more in town however it was placed by a new (or closed) Beirkeller and a casino slots on the other side - exciting!
It opened up into a cafe, with a rough and ready feel, relaxed.
They have call offices above but apparently these are going to be bought up and changed into something a bit more creative. They are called Meanwhile Creative.
Currently, they have the Nest Gallery, which is through a door that looks as though you're not allowed through it - there was a small room, dimly lit but that might have been for the current exhibit.
Exhibits are usually a collective, at £35 PP, however this was up for negotiation.
They're booked up until January.
They were very keen to help with a launch party - you can rent the bar, order in your own drinks or have them to help too. At £10PH
It seemed a bit thrown together, however there were studios out the back (i spied a sewing and textiles activity going on).
You can also exhibit in the cafe.
