urban source has been in the business of encouraging creativity for over 30 years by offering a wide range of unique and inspiring materials to work with. we source out diverse and unusual manufacturing discards that are ideal for all kinds of creative projects. to eliminate over-packaging and handling, most materials are stocked in large barrels and sold in bulk. we also carry a great selection of traditional art supplies and craft materials.
our store on main street is one of the oldest businesses in the area and is a favourite destination for teachers, parents, children and all types of creatives: professional, amateur, young and old!
over 100 bins are set up at a child-friendly height encouraging kids to explore and choose materials for themselves. three bag sizes are available.
our materials are fabulous for :
- children’s arts & crafts
- assemblage art
- prop making
- jewellery making
- collage art
- sewing projects
- “loose parts” (for Reggio inspired learning)
- card & book making
- party decorations
- costumes
- and so much more!
