This is a neat little Art Supplies Store! If you are an Art Student or Teacher, come here with…read moreyour ID-- you get a discount. Everything in here is legit and you will be SO glad you found this little gold nugget. Skip any other art supply store-- this is where the Pros go. ;) The service was very easy going and helpful if I had any questions. Definitely a vibe for the Art crowd in this little store. It's a little store with MANY art supplies and niche tools, from pens, brushes to paints and canvases. A mini artist's paradise! The cost and value of all the tools and supplies in this store are fairly priced and even better for those who are students and teachers (discounts for them). I would recommend this spot to those who are serious artists and newbies looking to find the right art gear without guessing. Tip: Parking is street and neighborhood or the garage which is $3 for an hour. If you eat at Handels ice cream or one of the places nearby they comp your parking ticket which is cool too. Make a day out of it!

Was there shopping for a birthday present for an artist friend and know absolute diddly squat about paint and that is when a hero with braids appeared to save the day. I never caught her name but she made quite the impression on this experience and if I got her name I'd shout her BIG TIME because I wouldn't have got everything I needed if it wasn't for her assistance...TOP TIER customer service. Otherwise, store was organized and priced right; will be my go too art supply source moving forward.

Every brush here has more personality than most people on Melrose…read more In a city where every "artist" now thinks Procreate on an iPad counts as a medium, Blick Art Materials is one of the last true temples of real creation. Walk in here and you can smell the ambition, acrylic, and caffeine. It's like stepping into a time capsule where brushes still matter, ink still stains, and creativity doesn't come with a subscription fee. The value here and the prices were super reasonable. I came here with my draftsman, a guy who still draws by hand -- a dying breed in a world that runs on Ctrl+Z. Watching him walk these aisles was like watching a monk in a cathedral. Every shelf, every pen, every tube of paint is curated chaos. And the best part? The staff actually care. They know the difference between gouache and watercolor -- and they don't judge you for mispronouncing it. Friendly service, clean restrooms (a small miracle in Los Angeles), and a selection so deep it could inspire Picasso's ghost to start over. From sketchbooks to sculpting tools, markers to mat cutters, they've got everything you need to make something real -- or at least look like you tried. Blick's been around since 1911, and this Beverly Blvd location has kept L.A.'s art scene supplied through every phase -- from punk flyers to NFT hangovers. It's an institution, and it deserves to stay that way. Blick Art Materials is a love letter to real art in a copy-paste world. The service is friendly, the aisles are inspiring, and the supplies are top-notch. If you make anything with your hands, your heart, or even just a stubborn sense of nostalgia -- support this place. Because when shops like this vanish, so does a little bit of the soul of Los Angeles. Support this place -- or someday the only "art supplies" left will be ring lights. Blick is where real artists shop while influencers pretend to paint.

I've always wanted to learn to knit, and I've peeked into this magical shop a few times over the…read moreyears. I love the comfy atmosphere. It feels like a calm sanctuary from the stressful bustling of life outside. I appreciate the high quality of the materials in stock. Everything seems very thoughtful. I finally admitted to myself that I probably won't teach myself with just my books anytime soon, so I recently scheduled a lesson with the owner, Kat. She charges $40 for an hour, which I found very reasonable for her expertise. She helped me select materials, explaining what works best for beginners. Throughout our lesson, she was very patient and thorough. She let me take little videos to reference later. I left the shop with the beginnings of a scarf and a smile on my face. I really look forward to scheduling another lesson after I practice what I've learned so far!

I figure I should update my review since it's been so long. While it's changed owners since my…read morefirst review, The Little Knittery is still fantastic as ever. Kat is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and friendly shopkeeper, and has taken the shop from its humble beginnings and turned it into a much larger, and extremely well stocked shop! With its quirky charm, and varied selection, it's hard not to fall in love with the space, and the neighborhood it's located in. Definitely a must visit for any fiber artist in Los Angeles.

I've always loved the look of decoden and have bought a bunch of decoden items in the past so I was…read morehappy to find this shop so I could finally try doing it myself! I dragged my boyfriend out here for my birthday and it was so much fun! They have a good selection of cute charms ranging from food charms, characters charms (Pokémon, Sanrio, Disney, etc.), seasonal charms, and more to fit a variety of aesthetics. The staff was really helpful with guiding us through the process since it was our first time and patient with us when we were indecisive. There are so many options of items to decorate, cream colors, and charms. We spent a good amount of time just deciding what we wanted. It was such a fun experience even for my boyfriend who wouldn't have picked this activity otherwise. It's a cute small business with the cutest atmosphere perfect for a girls date out. It can be a little pricier of an activity but totally worth it and I would love to come back again to decorate something else! Pro Tip: After sanding down your item, layout your charms to plan where you want things to go and take a picture so you can reference it again after you pipe the glue!

They have high ends pens from Korea and Japan.(inks are never dried up and thin) Many accessories of Korean celebrities.(everything; key chains, notebook and small bags) Toys from Korea Nothing special.

Maybe if they try to sell new products or challenge something new for Americans, then it will be better!

However when I got there she took one look and said- "oh this is easy" and got the fella in the back to quickly turn the order around in 5 minutes! I was so surprised and pleased. While waiting I saw they had a lot of great art supplies at a good price. They even have some funky art hanging on the wall to give inspiration on all the cool stuff someone can do, or if you are challenged with a pen you can buy the displayed art right there. Great little shop, no need to buy supplies on Amazon or target- go here!!

Beautiful clean space with a TON of glaze options and clay bodies. Lots of wheels and hand building space and love that it is 24/7, so you can work late at night if that is when you are feeling creative. Also in my opinion the kiln turnaround time is pretty quick. 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.

She was kind and helpful, and you can tell she really loves and knows her craft well! It was an intimate setting, and it was a fun experience to learn about one process of candle making. At the end of the night, you get to go home with your own hand poured candle that you created. 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.
