This is a smaller location but has a lot of variety and is set up well…read more I just needed some thread and while the options were limited to just 3 multipacks of thread, it totally met my need. 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.

I have no idea how I've never noticed this store! Its pretty big and has a huge selection of…read morecanvases, easels, paints, and so on, and i thought the prices were very reasonable. 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!

Their Delica prices are very good, which is why the current selections are pretty sparse. They have a nice selection of southwestern print fabric, perhaps 30 different bolts. This is an older outpost, so you may come across some vintage crafting supplies that you might not have seen for a while. The owner is delightful. Go have a look-see!

I felt as if I had been transported to the past when I entered this store. You will see things you…read morewould not find at Michael's or Joann's. There is a separate room of seed beads and findings. A very nice selection of colors and sizes of seed beads. The store itself had macramé items, dream catcher kits, doll parts and faces, rolls of sequins and also bags full of sequins, leather cording, large wooden beads, fabric and fabric panels, ribbons, feathers, yarns, Ric rack, and more.

I really liked the handmade papers (and bought some for future projects). There's also a side room where they do art classes. I found more info on their online calendar and found a series as well as an every Monday class. I was also happy to learn this is an independently owned local store. And the staff were nice!

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.

I have never seen such a wide selection of paints, books, wood and other items for painting, accessories, samples, etc. The owner was very gracious and told me they had been there for 25 years! I had fun looking around and would definitely want to take some classes here if I lived in the area. (4/23/09)

Beautiful paintings fill the gallery and Joel, the owner, was kind enough to let me in even though they were closed. (Maybe he just didn't want me leaving fingerprints on the glass,lol) Make it a point to stop here for art supplies and if you are an art collector. I'm still dreaming about a few of the paintings in the gallery.

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.
