    I have lived in Iowa City for a while now and have never been into Blick's until this weekend. What…read morewas I thinking?! It is a great place for all kinds of fun if you're in need in some inspiration. The staff is super nice and were able to help me find what I was looking for quickly. They have a great array of stationeries (my favorite) available for a slightly higher price but still reasonable considering the high quality and service. I will be back for future creative endeavors or if I just want to look some inspiration!

    This is a very cool and fun store, with every kind of art tool or item you might need. I also…read morealways find the most amazing gifts here, everything from unique coloring books and cards and journals to jokey office supplies and tchotchkes (I bought a harmonica and mini-sewing kit on my last visit...). Of course the main event here are the art supplies--you'll find many options for every kind of medium, and for every price range, from beginner (or just-putzing-around) to professional grade. On my most recent visit, I was interested in two sets of watercolors and was glad I asked an associate about their prices...because one was around $10 and the other $45. Same thing with a cool set of dual markers/pens I almost bought...I had not looked at the price correctly and the associate pointed it was $161. She kindly found another set for me for less than $10 (which was all I needed). Art things are expensive in general but you can definitely find some good deals here, especially during their sales. The staff here are all very cheerful, helpful and friendly...my favorite store in Iowa City whenever I visit the area.

    My experience with Amanda was less than satisfying…read more The amount of emails "confirming" date, time & amount of people who would be attending was a total turn off. Might I suggest a deposit when booking and a "no show" or "cancellation" fee if there is a last minute cancellation? Upon arrival Amanda was level 10 stress. I don't think she was breathing at all during set up. I had a confirmed 15 people to paint & GREAT set up in a garage for my party. Amanda didn't like the idea of someone having their back to her during presentation so she tried to get rid of my 15th spot. No worries though, she wanted me to PAY for 15 but only wanted to allow me to set up for 14. She must have forgotten that she was at MY house & I was a paying customer also, this made her joke about "this was her only job so thanks for paying rent" incredibly awkward. Amanda is very dry which comes off rude. Don't expect a smile or a warm fuzzy feeling from her - it's not going to happen. Also don't you dare talk while painting or you'll get "All eyes on me" as if you were a 1st grader. I was embarrassed by my choice of entertainment for my evening. Paint and wine should be fun. It's hard to have fun when you feel as if you're being scolded for any move you make that amanda didn't like. I'm rating a 3 because we did do a painting and what she came to do did get accomplished. I would also like to add - if you have a great attitude, were little more flexible & had your customers pay at the end of the evening.... you might get a cash tip instead of a written online review

    I recently attended a Cork and Canvas painting party. Honestly, the word that keeps coming to mind…read morewhen thinking about the instructor and the feeling we all got from her was "UNCOMFORTABLE". Another person posted a review said she "felt like she was in kindergarten". That is a good way to describe our evening. We were told over and over how to behave. IN NO WAY WERE WE OUT OF LINE WITH OUR BEHAVIOR. We were 14 women there just to have fun. She gave great instructions on the painting technique and came well prepared. It's too bad that she didn't lighten up and enjoy herself. My rating would have been a lot higher.
