    Some art with the help of blick.

    Great selection of art supplies and nice selection of gift / toys. I got into painting with the pandemic and had been ordering online during the lockdown. The shipping costs are high tho and was pleased when I remembered they had a store here ( and it was open). Yes they do have arrows on the floor and a "shop with your eyes not your hands" policy but I haven't had any trouble. Staff has been helpful and friendly when. I have had questions. They also have a loyalty program you can sign up for to get the best pricing. Tons of paint canvas brushes! Let's paint.

    Metal shelves in an art supply store display watercolor books and albums, including large black watercolor albums and smaller books. The store has a ceiling with fluorescent lighting, and various art supplies and decorative items are visible in the background, including origami figures and shelves filled with art materials.

    Located pretty much directly across from Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design is the fabulous Blick Art Materials. I have been to Blick in NY but it was such a joy to visit the store in Milwaukee. They made my trip such a wonderful experience and their staff is like no other. Such a helpful, knowledge crew. I walked down every isle in leisure and I was in awe at the beautiful products that were available. I especially loved the fact that you can sample some of the products before you buy. This is such a wonderful thing to offer and I'm sure everyone loves sampling art products as they're so expensive. I left spending much more than I planned but when in Rome .. or in Milwaukee... I'll be back soon.

    This place was a safe space for someone close to me for over a year. When she initially arrived at…read morethis studio, she was eager to take classes and learn the art of pottery but was quickly told that classes weren't necessary for her, so she carried on, asking questions along the way to those around her willing to help. Just recently, a woman by the name of Sue approached her out of the blue and told her that she needed to pick up all of her things and leave and take classes if she wanted to come back. She was then left scavaging for all of her pieces and tools in front of all of the other artists in the studio at the time, leaving my friend mortified. She was later informed that she asked too many questions and so prompted Sue to kick her out. Because that clearly makes sense. In no situation is that kind of embarrassment ever acceptable and if this is the kind of practice that you guys are running, I want zero part of it. I hope you take a moment to reprioritize the humans who give you the money to keep your business running because if you carry on in this manner, that energy will come right back at you. Have a nice day :)

    Returned for another session to paint, then a few weeks later to pick up the finished pieces (after…read morethey were fired). The final product is really solid and something I'm very happy with. The colors turned out quite a bit different than I'd hoped, but now I'm motivated to return to try again so I can better perfect my vision! It was extremely therapeutic doing this and Suzanne is a fantastic teacher. She's very patient and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!

    Date of visit: January 10, 2026…read more Never have I ever been inside a Paper Source store until this visit! I was concerned that it was all over-priced cards and wrapping paper and while yes, there was plenty of that, there were also a number of surprising other items and I spent far more time in the store than I expected to. Surprising bonus: You can earn and redeem Barnes & Noble rewards here. I came looking for a couple rubber stamps and an ink pad that was part of a gift and was mildly successful in that task, though the friendly staff did explain that stamps were not really popular right now and I nodded in that knowing way of how things can be so cyclical. I'm sure six months from now you won't be able to swing a dead cat without hitting a rubber stamp display and at that time, I won't need any. I also perused the clearance cards and found some good deals and was interested in some of the items near the register but none of them had any prices on them. Great that they are 50% off, but if I don't know what they are half off of, I'm not likely to buy them. Will never understand why stores have things out without prices, how many lost sales must that drive? All in all, a decent store that I will return to when I am in need of some cards--especially if they still have that clearance section!

    I love Paper Source! Always friendly service and I like the layout of the store and the music. They…read morehave a great selection of gifts for every occasion and a wide variety of gift bags and wrapping paper.
