I’m a film students but I still use this shop frequently as it supplies a lot of useful resources locally.

This is a vital resource and needs running with appropriate staffing. Its about money, so argue about that with those in power! The student voice is always being quoted as being important by the university, then raise it!

We need to keep this shop running. It provides a vital resource for many of the students and is a huge time saver having on site.

As a graduate student I was shocked to see this. The art shop and the recommendations for materials by people WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT is vital. I hope this petition helps

every good art college needs an art shop - do they expect student to just trot up into town and get a sketchbook and resources mid creative flow - talk about killing the creative spirit! If they supported it & marketed it well surely it’s an income from the public too. Bizarre!

Please do not get rid of the art shop, I commute to uni and often have to buy things that I need from there it is perfect for my course and would seriously struggle without it

This Art Shop was such a valuable resource when I was studying, extremely helpful to everyone on my course.

They are not closing the shop, just putting untrained staff in there.

Currently an MA student who's used this shop many times. It's a lifesaver having the shop on site and it would be a huge mistake for the University to close it.

They were an absolute life saver when I was at Staffs. You won't get that level of help from anyone else

Real shame this is even an idea, closing that art shop is closing the one thing that creative students can use that's theirs....

Art, and the materials artists need, are vital to our society. It isn’t always just about the money!

What a ridiculous idea - I would have walked out on my degree if I didn’t have the support and brilliance of the art shop on site.

My girlfriend goes to this uni and it would be such a bad idea to close the art shop so many students use it on a daily basis it’s important to keep it going

I studied at the polytechnic (before it became a university) and having an art shop meant that I could paint without having to spend too much on paint or artists materials. The shop is a much needed resource just like a book shop or somewhere to buy other equipment. Please don't close it. Stoke is a cultural city, don't kill its spirit.
