After taking two beginning mosaic classes at Newark Arts Alliance, I ordered a Roman mosaics kit…read morefrom an Italian Esty Business, Intessere. This was a challenge for me of average artistry. I enjoyed the project and learned about the process. Though, I should have started with an easier kit. Finley's Art Shoppe was really helpful in figuring out a nice frame and mounting. When I created this mosaic, I had to hide the uneven mosaic boarder, and they did a great job centering it. After I get done my second, simpler kit from Intessere, I will have them frame it!

Been going to Finley's for over 20 yrs. Fantastic selections, great quality, great customer service.read more

Yesterday I called Jerry's Artarama in Lawrenceville to inquire about easels. I first spoke to…read more"Lisa," who was very helpful. She provided sound advice and suggestions that enabled my visit to the store, also yesterday, to proceed with knowledge of the product, which were the Saint Remy, Da Vinci and Carolina, (which I purchased). The salesperson whom I encountered, "Jenny," was equally helpful. After looking at the products, for my needs the "Carolina," was in my opinion exhibited the most stability. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience beginning with my initial call to the store and my eventual purchase. For me, I will in the future shop at no other art supply store, despite my drive from Bensalem, Pa. Corporate Offices of Jerry's Artarama should be quite proud of the Customer Service provided at this location. Thank You!!!

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.

You just don't get that kind of customer service any more! If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would!

I reached out to Phoenix Art Supply on short notice - I could not get the jerseys framed until the season was over. The staff was extremely accommodating to my schedule, and worked overtime to get these done in time for the team banquet. They were able to pull together 8 framed jerseys within a week! The staff was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it came to the design and created an extremely high quality product. My son and his friends were really excited about their gift, which has been built to last and looks great on display.

She made it clear to everyone that purchased that she was the owner and how much she donates to causes. While I was being rung up (by a wonderful staff member) and other patron was donating art and filling out paperwork. One of the employees assisted and because the paperwork was messed up the owner said loudly and with a tone "there are too many hands in the pot". The employee and artist looked flabbergasted and I was shocked at the way the owner handles herself. Although the store has alot of supplies not found in craft stores, what I went for the employee stated they were out of stock of 5 items for watercolor. The staff was extremely nice, but because of the owners personality I will not be returning.

Whenever I go with a huge list of supplies for my fine arts classes at Penn, usually with items that I've never heard of or don't know the difference between, the store manager has always been willing to walk through the aisles with me and go down the list helping me find items. He'll even tell me which ones are "best priced", which I think is so kind and helpful. I'm pretty sure they have lots of experience with students coming through to buy boatloads of supplies, so he can feel out what level of quality and price is most worth it. The cashier people are very friendly, very familiar. You feel like they're fellow artists just like you and everyone does their best to make sure you have the best supplies for your projects without trying to hustle money out of you by taking advantage of any lack of knowledge you might have. It's a lovely experience! Blick does tend to have more selection, but there's plenty to roam around in this store, and I never feel like I don't have more to choose from than I could ever really fathom at once.
