    Underground oasis??? I cannot believe I have walked by this place so many times without knowing what's inside. It's massive. You have your pick at pretty much any art and craft your heart desires. With every color option you could imagine. Unlucky for me, I went in looking for something specific. My mission was a simple cutting mat. It did take a great deal of time, resulting in me having to ask for help. But nevertheless, the operation was successful. Great, kind, and helpful employees!

    I love this place! I needed supplies for this art project that I'm doing, so I searched online to see the closest store near my hotel. Thank goodness the Yelp app has a GPS locator otherwise; I would not have been able to find this business because it was challenging to find. The store is next to Lucky Strikes bowling alley, and it is in the basement. So If, you are searching for this place just look for Lucky Strikes. I love that the shop is well stocked and well organized. It is also very clean and spotless. I went to pick up some decoupage glue and a magnet sheet, so I could finish my project. I've been collecting my hotel key cards and wondering what I could do to recycle them, so I turned them into something cool and made refrigerator magnets. (See my photo for the finished product!) Prices are remarkably reasonable, and employees are friendly and helpful. I am in Philly a lot, so I will certainly be back again.

    Thank you so much for helping me find an affordable frame! I definitely needed a background like the workers suggested and I'm so glad I chose green. I really appreciate the help, I had no idea what to get! The workers were so helpful and the customer service was pretty good. The place is so big, finding items can be overwhelming sometimes. Thank you again for the help :)

    The store is incredible in terms of choice and space, but the store assistants are so unfriendly. Very hard to figure out prices of items.

First floor is a cornocopia of delights and then there is the basement with color splayed all over in random style. Floors painted. Well at least how I remember it. So I hunted for art supplies in Philly on a whim, and there was a sibling! And wandering around on Yelp, I've found yet another! This A&C S is the smallest of the three that I have been so lucky to visit. There is something to be said for a downstairs space to rummage and roam for treasure. While this one is one floor, it is still a worthy member of the clan. I tried to go for just one or two items, but ended up with a slew of pens and pencils. My only regret was the fact that my carry on was the limit, not the items in the store. The staff were a great balance of attentive and laissez-faire. I like being able to enjoy looking at things and touching things without feeling weird or feeling as though sales folks are going to vulture me. I felt welcomed and a part of the store, but not smothered. Also the staff was friendly with each other but did not ignore a single customer in their reach. I liked that balance.

You can't miss the HUGE colorful mural on the outside in the parking lot, but the RE itself is on the right side. Conveniently located by a 3 bus stop as well. I was in the market for some postcards and other papercraft supplies and brought some scrapbook paper I knew I wouldn't use with me to donate as well. The staff was very nice and organized. After seeing the true breadth of all of the various materials sold at the RE, I will definitely bring more miscellaneous craft stuff with me to donate next time. Have to make room for new stuff! I was able to purchase some postcards (they were 50 cents each or 3 for $1), a container to hold some of my other materials, and a set of Dublin stickers, all for $15 flat. Cannot stress enough how AFFORDABLE stuff is. In general I would say go in to look around and not want anything too specific, especially on a busy day like a Saturday, because it was a bit crowded. But they had materials truly for all typees of crafts: fabric, knitting, sewing, painting, papercrafts, jewelry, woodworking... as well as larger materials. Really affordable and hope to get the word out about this place! There are two gender-neutral restrooms located in the lobby of the building as well as part of the shared space.

Whenever I go with a huge list of supplies for my fine arts classes at Penn, usually with items that I've never heard of or don't know the difference between, the store manager has always been willing to walk through the aisles with me and go down the list helping me find items. He'll even tell me which ones are "best priced", which I think is so kind and helpful. I'm pretty sure they have lots of experience with students coming through to buy boatloads of supplies, so he can feel out what level of quality and price is most worth it. The cashier people are very friendly, very familiar. You feel like they're fellow artists just like you and everyone does their best to make sure you have the best supplies for your projects without trying to hustle money out of you by taking advantage of any lack of knowledge you might have. It's a lovely experience! Blick does tend to have more selection, but there's plenty to roam around in this store, and I never feel like I don't have more to choose from than I could ever really fathom at once.
