    Somewhere – Hoxton Monster Supplies

    Looking for an interesting shop to grab something that little bit different? Look no further than Hoxton Monster Supplies! The shop sells a range of strange and wonderful products designed to intrigue (and occasionally disgust!) its visitors. Why not take a look at their collection of bottled salts made from cultivated human tears!

    Each product comes with an interesting (and mostly made up) story of how it came to be sitting on the shop’s shelf. For example, the tears used to create the salt have been cultivated by special tear harvesters who have collected them from people who have cried in anger, whilst chopping onions, sneezing, laughing and the most solemn of all, tears cried in sorrow. Each type of tear has a particular colour and we’re guessing (we’ve not dared try it yet!) a different taste! Some of the other products you can see up close and personal are a can of night terrors (which can be taken in small doses in the form of sweets), fang floss (especially thick for those hard to reach vampire fangs) and if it takes your fancy, some cubed earwax (fudge to you and me)!

    You can find the Hoxton Monster Supplies shop at 159 Hoxton Street, London N1 6PJ which is a short walk from Hoxton overground station (or if you’re traveling by tube, Old Street on the Northern line, just two stops from London Art Portfolio!).

    • At London Art Portfolio you are encouraged to seek inspiration everywhere, whatever stirs your passion, and afterwards introduced to an imaginative range of materials and techniques to visualise your ideas. The process was great fun and everyone on the course was really friendly and bounced off on each other’s skills and ideas. It was a pleasure to be there!

    • Thanks to this course, I began to understand the value of practising and honing your craft. It is important to know how to build a project from the ground up, with time and perseverance, but it is also important to back up your ideas with practiced skill.

    • I’m currently an undergraduate student studying Architecture. After failing my first year I began to attend one-to-one tutorials at London Art Portfolio. After attending tutorials for a year I ended happily with a first and now moving onto second year!

    • London Art Portfolio helped me find my creative self again, it helped me learn how to develop my own projects and how to present them properly. Fantastic team, great tutorials, vibrant and inspiring atmosphere. I will be eternally thankful to London Art Portfolio, especially to Julia…

    • At first I was uncertain of my own abilities and I lacked confidence. That is why I decided to seek the expertise of Julia at London Art Portfolio. She made me feel comfortable from the very beginning and starting from our first one-to-one tutorial I began to develop my drawing skills. She made sure that throughout our time together we explored different mediums, techniques and approaches.

    • ..London Art Portfolio, and Julia in particular, gave me creative guidance and help throughout the course to make sure I achieved and produced work, not only I, myself was pleased with, but work that would get me accepted to the schools I applied to…
