Whilst Oxfordshire is almost certainly best known for Oxford University, the county also has a thriving industrial focus with motor sport companies, as well as being a major tourist area. Whilst the term "arts & crafts" can include many different hobby activities, there’s no doubt that Oxfordshire residents are well served by some excellent shops catering for many aspects of crafting. Carole’s Crafts in Oxford is a good place to purchase items for sewing, card making and knitting, whilst Poppycraft in Wallingford offers similar selections.
Kew Bookbinding is based in Thame, and offers their customers a range of services including leather embossing, thesis binding and box making. If a picture or print needs mounting and framing, Artisan Framing in Bicester are one of the counties experts. Also in Bicester is Duns Tew Pottery that sells a selection of interesting pottery mugs, plates and other objects. K Graphics Supplies in Didcot supplies an enormous choice of drawing pencil, pens and other equipment.
