Arts, crafts and such
- Go to the Barbican . Or take the bus which is cheapest to Totnes about 45mins away a very hippie sort of town 1 main street stretches up a steep hill but its packed full of curios , candle and incense shops , galleries , has a great little outdoor market that sells a lot of handmade jewellery and crafts , it's a sweet little place.
- Plymouth arts centre on Looe st,cinema,food and art collections
- Have a look at what the art college is displaying in it's gallery by the cop shop, Charles Cross.
- There are numerous art galleries on The Barbican, the small ones are great, and the main gellery on North Hill is good too. Any gallery is a good gallery but avoid Plymouth Prints coz Chris Robinson is mean
- Literally right next to halls of residence is the city museum which is quite cool... well, as cool as a museum can be! There's an aquarium too for the fish-lovers (?!) AT christmas in the centre of town they have a big craft market. But its extremely expensive.
- Soul life in Plymouth has prints and books from Banksy and other street artists such as Mark Jenkins and NY collective Faile. Flatspot has got some work by Toby Ray which is also cool. The Arts centre has some strange stuff but the Arts museum in town is rubbish for a city this size

- Try the museum next to the libary, you'll find loads of interesting things there.
In the armarda centre, there are a few art and craft shops.
- barbican.
- Plymouth is home of the Children of Kaos (aka Kaos Design) and they have helped many a budding artist to put together big canvasses for their portfolio. Many local artists have helped Kaos in things like Boonoonoos carnival and festivals in Devonand Cornwall. Big shout!
- Check out the Barbican. Lots of cool stuff but lots of crap aswell. Lenkewicz's (spelt wrong, sorry Robert) art studio is well worth a visit. What a talented geez even if he is a bit strange!
- City Museum art gallery. Plymouth Art Centre. Plus more on the Barbican.
