Here is a 2022 experience with The Composites Store that is similar to another reviewer's in 2018…read more My small order of $28 somehow got a $41 shipping charge (initially indicated as $15). Had they asked me about a $26 increase in shipping, I'd have cancelled the order. The company is not clear exactly what shipping charges will be. (My small order was split into two mailings, each Priority Mail 2, but I gave no indication of any hurry.) My guess is they cater mostly to industrial customers who order more and want it fast.

I stopped in here looking for archival paper tape. I didn't quite find what I needed, but found…read moretape that was acid free and used that for my project. The main difference being I think this tape is stickier and could cause slight damage to my antique papers. But I couldn't find anything better locally so at least it's acid free... Ojai Creates is a small shop with an average or light selection of art supplies. That said, they do carry things other people don't, and that's what I came here for. The woman behind the counter was polite and friendly and helped me find their options for tape. Parking on site and the shop was clean and well lit. I'd stop in here again if I need nice art supplies.

About a 10 minute drive from the original location) and I was absolutely stunned.

Thank you Jill for keeping Ojai Creates alive and for keeping an art store in Ojai Valley, because there are many of us who want to shop locally!!
