Blue Rooster Art Supplies is one of several independent art supply stores in Los Angeles and the…read moreshop has another location in Pasadena. Each year, Blue Rooster offers a Summer Anniversary Sale in July and they recently celebrated their 23rd year. [Parking]: Metered parking only. Our party ended up parking on Maubert Ave and walking here. [Supplies]: Almost anything Blick carries, Blue Rooster carries as well despite having a smaller retail space. The supply shop also carries premium handmade watercolor brands such as Stoneground and watercolor supplies occupy about 25% of the store, but they did run out of some specific colors for certain watercolor brands like Stoneground. They also carry Copic markers, Lyra Aqua Brush Duo markers, LePen markers, POSCA markers, Pilot pens, blank canvases, toolboxes, etc. Blue Rooster Art Supplies also carries more specialized brands of paper here. [Conclusion]: This flagship store has a smaller space and is less convenient to park than the Pasadena location and the Pasadena location also has a shop cat. With that being said, this is still a solid neighborhood art supply shop in Los Feliz.

We succumbed to all the hype and went here for their big sale. But what I didn't realize is that…read more23% off is only for purchases over $50. The place is tiny and kinda spendy but clean & organized. Not as much dejection as I'd hoped. And we had to park around the corner. But I guess that's what it's like in Hollywood. I'm sure it's good for the neighborhood to have an art supply store there. **edit. I misread the flyer. I'm so sorry Blue Rooster.

Top's Art Supplies is a family-owned Korean art supply shop in Koreatown that has been in operation…read moresince 1987. While the shop is small, they stock all of the essential art supplies (brands like STABILO, POSCA, and DecoColor) so customers can be more intentional with what they want to buy. The store requires ID checks for paint marker purchases. In addition, the shop also carries a large selection of Asian art materials for calligraphy (e.g., square paper, calligraphy brushes, calligraphy books, ink stones, black sumi ink, brush hangers, etc). Apparently students from USC who take calligraphy courses come here to purchase their supplies. Overall this is a decent shop for anyone looking to restock art supplies or buy calligraphy materials. P.S. - There is metered street parking in front of the store, but there are also few free designated parking spots behind the shop. P.P.S. - Check the website to see which supplies are currently on sale.

It's harder and harder to find stores stocking a lot of small indie dyers, but that kind of seems par for the course. The owner is helpful.

She gives you a bad feeling like she's trying to get away with being mean but gets scared when you put yarn back. You know those people who say just barely mean things but you have to figure out, why the interaction felt uncomfortable. Or those people who talk bad about you the moment you walk away. I didn't come here to fight with my mom. Those people who steal your happiness for your new idea. The ones you want to avoid when it doesn't have enough protection. The most vulnerable business ideas shouldn't go here. If u don't NEED yarn for money come here. If you need something NEED it, don't come here. 2 stars sales corner.

I was very excited to come here with my boyfriend. This was a last minute activity we chose to do…read moresince we were in the area and I was nervous that we were not able to decoden since we did not have a reservation. Luckily, when I went the store wasn't busy and walk-ins are welcome. With that, we were able to decorate. Parking situation is a bit tough depending on when you go. There is street parking if you get lucky. Just circle around a bit if you have trouble. You do not need reservations too since walk-ins are welcome. My boyfriend and I decided to decorate top loaders for our Pokemon cards and honestly, when I compare this place to other deco places, I will say other ones are better. The reason being they offer unlimited colors and charms you can put on your art pieces. Here, they limit you to either one or two creams (the colors of "icing") and charms too depending on what you purchase. Every extra charm purchase is $0.50. With that, this deco place was so fun but I would prefer them not making their stuff limited in quantity to creams and charms. Staff was nice too and the prices were okay. Like I said, if it was unlimited, it would be worth it but since it's not, to me at least it wasn't worth it.

Having taken another purchase to a frame shop in Mid-City that was recommended by the shop. I ended up paying an arm and a leg, for that job, so for my next poster, I decided to give Baller Art Ware a shot given it's right down the street from our house. I took it in, and the very friendly person at the front helped me pick a frame material, walked me through the process, and explained that they are very backed up, and it would take about 8 weeks to complete the job. They quoted me a very reasonable price, and I was in no hurry so I had them proceed. The framer called me a couple days later, concerned with some of the details of the job. He probably could've been a little friendlier on the phone, I've seen some reviews to that effect, but at the end of the day i appreciated that he just really wanted to do a good job, and do right by the vintage poster. We agreed on a path forward and that was it. At the end of the day, they set expectations for how long it would take, and they met their estimate, did a beautiful job with the frame, and charged a very fair price for the job. I couldn't ask for more and will be back next time!

It is always exciting looking through the shelves and finding your pieces. I recommend starting out with a class or two so you can experience everything before committing to membership. Lots of really great teachers too.

The intention setting part of the workshop was very peaceful and created an opportunity to reflect on the past year and be intentional about something you'd like to foster for yourself in this new year. Excellent class and I'd return to this studio for another one. However, $70 may be a bit steep for some for a workshop like this.
