I went there on a whim with my wheelchair bound special needs client. We were thrilled as it is one…read moreof the few places on that part of the ave that we could actually access in her mobility chair. They were so nice and patient with us and made us feel welcomed. Great prices and everything is included in the price of the piece you pick. Our new favorite past time!

My oh my, where do I start??!! A group of us were going to do vintage Christmas trees on Friday,…read more10/24 at 5:00 pm. We received a text at around 1:00-1:30 the day of the appointment saying that he didn't get the trees in time so we needed to reschedule. We scheduled for 11/7 at 5:00 pm. I arrived by 5 and one in my group was already there. I looked at the table of trees and they were different sizes? We each paid $150 for a large tree. My friend had two small trees in front of her and one of the large trees was smaller than the rest but bigger than the smalls. She stated that he said he dropped one of the large trees so he gave us two small. When questioned about the other odd sized tree he said" oh that's a large it's just a different manufacturer". So we begin our trees, which I took the two smaller ones and was not able to finish by 6:30 which is when he closed. I said I would be back the following week to finish them both , I live in Bernville. I went the following week and was told that someone else had painted my tree and that he would get one to replace it tomorrow. So I finished the one while he sat there and told me about his personal life with some guy as if we were best friends. I said I would be back next week To do the other one. I went back the next week and he said, " you were supposed to call me, I don't have the tree yet". I reminded him that he said he would get another tree the next day and he argued with me. I went back the next week and my tree was there to finish. This business has posted that the process from start to finish will take a week. The other girls in my group had finished their trees the first night, felt rushed because we had an hour and a half and he told us "not to worry, that he would touch them up before firing them, which he did not do. We were supposed to pick up the trees a couple of times and he kept making excuses and changing the pick up date. I had multiple texts with him and he became disagreeable and rude during them. We finally were able to get the trees which were supposed to be ready to go. They were fired but that was it. No touch ups. Some of the holes in the trees were plugged and he didn't have the proper tool to fix them. We had to gather all the lights and things for the trees, while he had to look for the right sizes and colors. Also, no paper towels or anything to use while painting to clean if you needed to. When I went back to finish, I took my own paper towels. Last but not least he came in the room wreaking of weed. I know when I was there a couple of times there were children there. Not professional at all. I will never go back to this place and I would not recommend it to anyone. Felt like chaos.

From getting directions over the phone to walking through that front door... What a warm kind…read morehearted welcome! The staff was very energetic to get me close to all the things I've wanted to pick up. I'm so happy that they are so knowledgeable about everything they have. I'm so happy to be in their care!! A fantastic selection!! I of course, wanted to walk down every aisle and look at every treasure. It really is amazing to be here!! It's like a dream!!! I was able to pick up a lot of linocut, goodies, nice paper, canvas & new carving tools . It is such a huge building, filled with goodies! I'm ready to start the new year! Thanks to you and your lovely team. Everything is so tidy and organized and the staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks for all you do. I am so happy with my purchases and I can't wait to come back!!!

The first Artist & Craftsman Supply that I stepped in was in Cambridge, Ma. It was like a bohemian…read moreartists fantasy land. 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.
