They even had a huge sale on canvases so I had to get a big canvas. Do I paint? I guess now I do, and now I have another art store nearby for supplies and inspiration! They also have a lot of frame types i wasn't even aware existed, like specifically for stretched canvas, etc. And actually I do have a canvas in need!

J-Wow Fact: I majored in graphic design…read more Yes, it's true. You can't tell by my kindergarten stick figure drawings, but I majored in fine arts AKA my parents' nightmare. 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. I pick up the occasional items for myself as well. Canvases, paints, any marker or pen you need, et cetera. It's a great shop to fulfill all your artsy needs!

I was surprised to find they had a really great selection of embroidery floss. They had a lot of materials for different types of projects and many areas that gave good inspiration on trying new art forms. They also do custom framing. The front area and by the register also had fun gift ideas and trinkets. And there's a huge selection of Monster spray paint.

I honestly cannot believe I have not been here before this recent visit, as I love crafting, but…read moreusually had gone to the Joann's down the street (RIP). I was on the hunt for some specific paper for bookbinding and was not disappointed by the options. Not only did I find the blank paper I needed, I found a great selection of more specialty and fun paper as well as stationary pens and a few other basic bookbinding materials. They have much more than that though, including all your arts and craft needs, paints, pens, pencils, canvas, etc and fun trinkets, cute stationary type such as journals, stickers, etc. The prices are all very reasonable and they do offer student/teacher discounts. They were running a back to school donation drive for the local schools, which you received a 20% coupon for a return visit. It's only downfall is the parking, alas it is on campus and shared space with lots of high traffics restaurants and groceries, but if you don't find a spot right away, usually a lap or two will do it.

Staff is friendly and knows a good deal of things no matter the project I'm almost certain they have it and have someone if you are learning that'll guide you for what you need to be successful in your project. Some things are little pricey compared to online stores but that is just the norm. Stores beyond super neat and clean no pushy staff for sales.

We have been ordering from Blick's online website for years…read more This is our first time in an actual store, but we came away impressed. The Art supplies business seems like a difficult one to be in. But Blick's quality and wide selection, makes them hard to beat. They run sales occasionally, which depending upon our timeing, can be a decent opportunity to get things at a reasonable price. Service here was friendly and knowledgeable. Today, we came away down forty bucks or so. Probably the cheapest we've spent in a long time. LOL. But if you are into paint supplies, paper, oils and watercolors, they're the only game in town.

Weak. I came in looking for some sanding tools and the guy behind the counter could not have been…read moremore disinterested. 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 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.

I'm still dreaming about a few of the paintings in the gallery.
