My brother was a famous artist, and he was encouraged from that age forward, and it really helped his understanding of art and creation of it. So we want to encourage that with her. The staff was one gentleman that ran the store when we came in and he directed us to the color, pencils and a nice notebook to do her drawings. Thank you so much. You should've heard her excitement when she saw what we got her ... it was payday. The store was spacious and wonderfully full shelves that we could find and choose whatever we wanted for our artistic needs. The staff, the gentleman that helped us was for a pleasant and helpful and informative. He assisted my wife several times and myself I was pretty good on my own, but he did give me some assistance in one area. The quality of the merchandise they have there is very very good. All your budding artists need to drop down there and see what you can find.

With all that said, Jerry's is a delight. I came here as an art student and I still come here now. My niece is into the arts, so popping in here for birthday and holiday gifts is a no-brainer.

He even discouraged me, saying "well we only have sanding sheets", which was the answer to my question, "where are your sanding supplies?"... to which I then had to ask again, where are they? At about that time another guy appeared from 'round the corner and helped me. They had much more than the first, uninterested employee let on. Once I went to check out I went back to the uninterested employee, who had been behind the register. He rung me up then unceremoniously stepped back from the counter and went, "Okay, there you go.", leaving me to awkwardly reach forward and grab my jumble of items I'd just paid for. The prices were fairly high, and given the fact that I felt uncomfortable asking a simple question and then made to feel even more awkward actually purchasing something...yeah, I just don't think I'll be back.

I came here looking for a…read morepresent for a friend of mine who loves stationary, and ended up buying gifts for three friends instead! I got a journal and some cool sticky notes for my first friend and books for my other friends. The prices are okay. A little high, but i feel like that's pretty standard for fun and interesting paper these days. I mean, it's almost a pure luxury, since so much of what we do is digital now. I like that they have a clearance table, and they have a few fun little toys and candies too. Their selection of individual cards was quite nice, and the whole vibe of the store was inviting and comfortable. The place was clean, well lit, vibrantly colored, and the young woman who rung up my purchase was friendly and polite. I spent about $80 on two books, one fancy sticky note pad, one ultra fancy card, and a clearance journal. So... more than I intended to spend today, but since they were all gifts, it felt easier to justify. I also found out Paper Source is connected to (owned by? part of?) Barnes and Noble, which I hadn't realized before. Anyway, or was a fun shop and I'd stop in again if I need a gift. I'm not sure I'd come here for myself unless I had a very specific need for some high end artistic paper. They had some really gorgeous options that I just had no ideas for how to use right now.

I thought for sure that Paper Source would have it b/c in the past, I've found so many cool birthday things, most esp cards. It's been a minute since I've been there and had no idea 1) they're owned by Barnes & Noble now 2) they have a rewards program 3) they have someone who works there who goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to help. I point this out b/c in the past I've had to flag someone down for help as if I was at a huge department store. As soon as I came in the store, this gentleman Joel helped me. Even when we found there was NO "Happy 75th Bday: cards, he continued to make suggestions for how to help me celebrate my friend's 75th, including buying the numbered candles they have (which I love & have bought there) as well a bunch of other creative ideas. Much appreciated! Their inventory is outrageous! So many interesting & unusual items to buy for gifts, parties, etc. One of those unusual items is the Magic Butterfly that you wind up & put in a card & when the person opens up the card, it FLIES out of the card. So cool! And the person receiving it can wind it back up & pay it forward to another friend or fam member. (Side note: Make sure you watch the "Magic Butterful" video if you buy one b/c it actually shows you how to wind it so it works & it doesn't break).

I have done business with a wide variety of suppliers and Reynolds is now my top choice for materials. They just know their stuff when it comes to making something. With casting materials and mold materials there are so many choices from so many suppliers it can be a challenge at times to find the right path to get the results you want. Laurie at Reynolds in Tempe just has it down where the guess work is at a real minimum. Not every project or job is a 1,2,3, to finish operation, so anything that takes out the error and saves you money is a bonus in my book and Reynolds does just that. Oh yeah, be ready to gawk for a while if you're a creator, because your choices and tools available at Reynolds far exceeds many of the suppliers I used while working in Hollywood.
