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've been stuck with this store for years as they are the only store that carried what I needed. As…read moreof today, I will NEVER step foot in this location again. Some of the staff that have been there a long time, are SO rude and actually just mean. And it starts at the top- the manager Stevie is incredibly rude and mean! They do not help you and they tried very hard today to over charge me. I had to correct them 3 times! I left today saying "I would rather pay 3 times the price than to ever return to this store'! I did a quick search and found out Jerry's just opened a second store very close to me! They opened 3 days ago! Funny how things work out, isn't it? So if you are looking for art supplies, head to the new Jerry's at Tatum & Thunderbird in Phoenix! Casey and the store manager Rod would love to have your business. Avoid the Tempe store no matter what- they are terrible people!

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.

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.

And if I had a local store like this, I never would have stopped making glass pieces in the first place. The owners and their employees are so welcoming and helpful! They took the time to introduce me to everyone that worked there, showed me where everything was and explained their pricing. They even let me take a picture of their amazing carousel piece at the front desk so I could show my 5yo niece, who is all about carousels right now. I didn't even buy anything my first time there, but their amazing customer service made sure I didn't go shopping around. Even if I can get glass for $1 less at a place like Hobby Lobby, the casual advise and experience of their employees far outweigh any savings I can get from a big box craft store. I'm so glad I found this place!

The question was answered right away without having to be transferred to another person. So very helpful in that store.

I had interacted with him before and found his attitude unprofessional, and today's visit left me feeling the same way. Throughout my visit, I felt like I was being treated as an inconvenience. When it came time to bag my purchases, Frank said that it wasn't his job. His tone and attitude made me feel unwelcome instead of appreciated as a paying customer. I expect basic courtesy and respectful service. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to this location while Frank continues to work there. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses how customers are treated.
