After searching online, I found Jerry's Art Supply Wholesale Club in Greensboro--about an hour and 20 minutes away--and I couldn't be more grateful that I made the trip. From the moment I walked in, I was met with the most genuine and welcoming customer service from Erica and Patricia, who turned what could have been a routine shopping trip into an inspiring and unforgettable experience. Patricia was incredibly kind and attentive while helping me find supplies, and when I shared that I was building an art portfolio for my SCAD application, her encouragement was beyond anything I expected. Normally, I'm not comfortable showing my work to others, but there was something so warm and authentic about Patricia's spirit that I took a leap and shared a few of my completed pieces. Her reaction--her eyes lighting up as she pointed out specific details she loved--made me pause and truly see my own work in a new way. As my own worst critic, this was a moment I'll never forget. I may or may not have given her a surprise hug in my excitement, but she was just that awesome! Then there's Erica--an absolute gem! Her bright, sparkling eyes when talking about art techniques and supplies showed just how passionate she is, not just as an artist but as someone who truly loves her job. Even though she was busy helping other customers, she never made me feel like an inconvenience. She took her time, answered all my questions, and we even geeked out over the dream of owning a set of luxurious Caran D'Ache colored pencils one day! Her patience, knowledge, and enthusiasm made my shopping experience an absolute delight. Coming to Jerry's felt like fate--like the universe placed me there at just the right time to receive the encouragement I needed from Patricia and Erica. Whoever owns this incredible store, please know that you have two of the kindest, most passionate souls representing your business. They made my entire month, and I will absolutely be back! If you're an artist--whether a beginner or a pro--do yourself a favor and visit Jerry's Art Supply Wholesale Club. You won't regret it!

Nothing felt overwhelmingly overpriced, everything was fair ESPECIALLY if you get the $25 annual membership. My only gripe is that there could be a good selection of clay + sculpting materials, but this store focuses heavier on painting/2D traditional arts, which allows for a spectacular selection in those areas. Employees were kind, welcoming, and helpful. Can't recommend this place enough, I will be back!

They are a woman owned and founded business that features handmade stationary, cards, recipe books, notepads, small givers, jewelry, candles and more. It's the perfect spot to pick up a gift for a coworker, a loved one or a friend. The cost reflects the handmade quality, but everything is worth the price. I love the variety of gifts and it's the perfect place to peruse on a Saturday afternoon. A little note, all artwork is hand illustrated by the owner, Taylor, and "10% of our proceeds are donated to local refugee resettlement, and all our products are produced in the USA on paper that's kind to the earth." The quote is from their website, https://penandpillarshop.com. I love this place and will continue to support them. We need more business like them, that truly care about their effect on the environment and in society.

While she was wasting time at the front I went I. Search of the silver leaf foil, which was no easy task. I had no idea where it would be and could not even find an employee to help me. After about a p minutes I finally found someone on my he floor that could only describe where it was, but could not be bothered to walk me back to it. When I eventually found it, I realized it was a solid 3x more expensive than Hobby Lobby for the same product. Nevertheless, that was the end of that visit, and we headed for hobby lobby. Needless to say, we won't bother shopping here anymore. As much as I don't like Hobby Lobby, the customer service here, and the inability to make transactions on the register is not worth the headache...nor is their blatant price gouging. Not sure how they've survived this long, but they will not get out business any long.

Prices is very reasonable and always some type of sale also. Parking is plenty, you will not have any issues since it's in a huge shopping center area. The store was super organized and clean.

They also offer lots of goods for any hobby, sewing, painting, jewelry making, model making, scrapbooking, and just about anything else you can think of. My main complaint is the quality of some of their goods, many things like picture frames have gone down hill in quality steadily over the years, I'm sure as they attempt to get lower and lower costs, but all they're doing is passing g the lower quality on to their customers. On this visit, we bought a picture frame, got home opened it up, and it was too flimsy to even hold what we bought it for. Another annoying detail is their weekly sales. It seems everything in the store is generally on sale for 40-50% off every other week. So if you go to buy something and it's not on sale, it probably will be in a few days. They are clearly making a profit even when things are on sale, I wish they would just offer the sale pricing all the time. Stop playing the annoying game One last complaint, bringing out Christmas decor for sale in August is simply too much. All that being said, you can certainly get some decent deals on decorations and decor, just beware of quality
