Just so we are on the same page, I can't do justice to a stick figure and I'm being quite serious when I state the family handicaps the pictionary teams by having me on one time and my 7 year old nephew on the other team - Yes - it's really that bad. Now, what does that have to do with Alabama Art Supply - well I guess nothing. But, my wife who is a good artist (Other people have verified this) wanted to stop by here and do some shopping. From an art supplies place, this place is as good as anywhere you will find in the area. They have it all, if you are drawing, painting, need to create a matte for a piece .... prices are good and staff is really nice (even to us non artistic folks). I'd recommend this place if you're looking for some supplies that are a little different as well. Really well organized space and worth a visit if you're in the area.

What a great place! I live out of state and we don't have a local art supply like this place…read more Randy was super helpful with my pottery glaze purchase, answering questions and making suggestions. He even caught that I was about to purchase glaze that was not a good fit for my needs. He helped me choose alternative glazes that fit my need and saved me $20 plus as the alternate glazes were less expensive! Randy took a lot of time answering my questions about Stroke and Coat, and with his help I decided this product did not fit my needs (although lots of my potter friends praise Stoke n coat). Alabama Art has a great selection of glazes. This was my 3rd trip and I will definitely be back. It was the most fun!!
