She did this all for the price of the frame and was very kind and pleasant. This saved me so much trouble and I really appreciate it. In the past, this Michaels seemed to have a staff shortage, and the checkout was a drag. I know the self-checkout isn't new here, but it has changed everything; it's fast and efficient, leaving the staff able to focus on helping the customers. Anyway, I really like this location and the staff is really helpful.

I waited for 15 minutes and then she came up and scolded me, asking why I was waiting there. She then asked me if i knew where the gouache was behind the counter and took another 15 minutes of grabbing various boxes of random paints while still being extremely rude to me the whole time. I understand being overwhelmed and overworked but don't take it out on the customers.

La Knitterie has been around the block; I came across a book written in the 90s by Edith, one of…read morethe owners, in a used bookstore recently. But the shop has completely not kept up with the times. Not having your inventory priced with tags is a no-go, full stop. "It's too hard" or "we have too much stuff" are not acceptable explanations when it creates a really awkward situation for everyone involved: the owner, who has to look up prices individually, and the customer, who may be caught out at the register when something is out of budget. Their tenure is evident by the sheer volume of things they have, and to their credit, their stock is extremely varied and large. Quite easy to lose two hours here. But I found the service hot and cold: they'd sometimes follow me around, but respond coldly when I asked questions. The pricing structure and service just made this a really unpleasant experience that was not at all offset by their large stock. I will skip this when I'm in the area and won't be recommending to friends.

I had my son's 3rd birthday party at Froggy's last month and it was the best experience ever!! We…read morewere so concerned because we had children at the party ranging from 2-8yrs old and this turned out to be the perfect location! Not only did the staff handle everything, but they were so hands on with the kids that the parents actually got time to talk to each other while their kids had fun creating new works of art. We had plenty of room for everyone and enjoyed the standard 2 hour party which left plenty of time for food, crafts, pinata and cake. My son is still talking about his party at Froggy's and how much fun he had. I would definitely recommend this as a great place to have a party for kids of all ages.

I loved that the kids were able to choose what they wanted to do and make as big a mess as they wanted . . . and I got to leave the mess for someone else to clean up. It is a fun, creative space where you can pass some time with kids. My daughter wandered around singing and playing a guitar and everyone there was so nice to her. My son LOVED being able to paint / glue / stamp / color to his hearts content. As we left, my daughter sang "I love arts & crafts" and my son asked if we could come back again tomorrow.

Walked in today around 10:30AM and got a very nice welcome from both their employees Kay and Mary. Right away Kay wanted to know if she could help me find something. I wasn't sure what I really needed, but a few things caught my eye and I grabbed them. Got 2 scented candles in a glass. Both together was $53.98. I also saw couple of heart shaped candies that were so cute, but very expensive. I put them back. They had a lovely, pretty section for Easter. Grabbed a pack of light blue medium size paper plates count of 10. $10.50 and that's all I got on this visit. Paper Source is a good place to get all your arts and crafts fixes. From Stationary, to Wedding Invitations, Cards for any occasions, stuffed animals, stickers, artificial flowers, vases, wrapping papers, scrap books, Gifts/Gift Cards, Office Supplies, Custom Design, knick Knacks and a whole lot more. A very BIG store & a very EXPENSIVE store! Can get a bit dangerous. So watch your wallet. Store was fully stocked, organized, clean and only street parking. No restrooms for their customers. Established in 1984 and still going strong!!

I showed Jason (owner) and asked if he could replace them and he went on and blamed me and said i dropped them and damaged them myself! This guy is so greedy he didn't do anything to fix the situation and i was forced to leave... Long story short **DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THESE GUYS FIND SOMEONE MORE REPUTABLE THIS IS A BULLSHIT SCAM**

Very disappointing experience. I placed my canvas order only yesterday afternoon , and by this…read moremorning it was already "finished." When I saw the work, I was shocked by how sloppy, rushed, and low quality it looked. This was not professional work and not something any business should hand to a customer. I explained that I was unhappy with the quality and asked for my money back because I could not use this canvas for my client. Instead of trying to fix the problem, they refused and kept saying, "This is how we do it," and that they already spent time, labor, and materials on it. They acted like there was nothing wrong with the work at all. What made the experience even worse was the attitude and disrespect. Instead of helping or apologizing, I was told to leave the store. I also took photos of the canvas so people can judge the quality for themselves. I would not recommend this place if you expect professionalism, quality workmanship, or respectful customer service.

Carter Sexton Artist Materials is located in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley within the Valley Village/Studio City area and resides on Laurel Canyon Boulevard/just a beat down from Chandler Blvd and the Laurel Canyon Metro Station for the Orange (aka G) line. It's got lots of fun nooks and crannies with great materials, supplies, service and sales (including 40% off, clearance items and more). It was easy for me to follow a lot of their played out pricing for canvas (10 years in retail, though it's been almost 10 years since I walked away from it and yet still retain so much lol). I ventured into the "Come (On) In" area and discovered some complimentary artist guides, incredible artwork and extra items I was seeking for a sketching event I hosted over the weekend. Love coming in on Saturdays, though it's been several months since I was last in, hoping to change that, check out more of their events, including some great some shows this holiday season like their Medley. I don't have much to submit by their deadline, but highly recommend you do if you're an artist, aspiring artist or creative. They definitely are neighborhood feel with some cool regulars. Caught some warming interactions and references to Cheers (the 80s to early 90s series) between the staff and a really nice returning customer. I'm not sure if Kelli was there when I stopped in, but I've had some greatest response with her in the past online when inquire about things. Everyone is super knowledgeable, mindful and respectful. Ready to assist, but also let you take your time exploring and feeling out all they have to offer. Street parking primarily with a 1hour limit from 8am to 6pm. Some limited spaces in their back alley parking, that I'm sure is super great for their staff/ the Carter Sexton family. Its first come first serve, but you might get lucky. Open from 10am to 6pm Monday through Saturday weekly with some variations for holidays. A must whether a local, passing through or seeking out a small biz to support that does great things for the area, and showcasing a spotlights artists of all walks of lives and ages. Even Bob Ross on display wants you to check out this great supportive Art spot. "We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents."

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.
