My friend and I like to do experiences together for our birthday instead of gifts so we decided to do calligraphy this year and I knew Caitlin's class would be perfect. The class went from 10-noon we had a small class only five people which was nice. You are given a nib, holder and ink to bring home and use in the class along with paper and sheet that has guidelines and an instructional book which has info about materials and where to buy them. She makes you feel very comfortable and is encouraging I think everyone in the class walked away feeling like they learned alot and was money well spent.

The female employee with curly hair and glasses at the Silverdale location is UNHINGED. From the…read moresecond I entered the store she was aggressive and hostile towards me, repeatedly asking me what I was looking for when I said I was just browsing. Was offended when I tested pens, even though there was testing paper put out for the purpose. Then when I put everything back and tried to leave because I didn't like her attitude, she ran towards me, got in my personal space, and accused me of stealing. I wouldn't set foot in this store if it was the last art supply store on earth. Besides the extremely rude staff, the selection is very limited. Should have just gone to the big art supply store in Tacoma like I was planning. Lesson learned! NEVER AGAIN.

Years ago they had a more in-depth stock, but nowadays they rarely have what I'm looking for. The exception is for the loveliest art papers; if you want some marbled, stenciled, or other specialty papers, they have nice ones for a price. But they make their primary income from framing posters and art and pictures for people, and would likely better be called The Frame-it Edge. This they do well indeed.

Disappointing Service - I searched for years for two prints to match a third I acquired 20 years…read moreago in Europe. I finally tracked down the other two, via a museum in Austria. I had them sent to me, and took them to be framed by Artists Edge Poulsbo. The charge was almost $600 for two rather small items, but I paid it anxious to see my 3-print set reunited. I was told they would be ready in two weeks. On the day they were supposed to be done, I got a voice mail message saying the machine they used to cut the matting "ate" the mat, and they would have to reorder it, delaying finish by another week. The next week I called to confirm delivery on the day promised (Thursday) and this was confirmed. I didn't get there til Friday (I drove specially from Bainbridge Island to pick them up). The framing wasn't done. Then when I got home, I found another voice mail message saying that they had damaged one of the prints, and would try to find a replacement. The other print would not be ready until the following day. Despite ruining this rare print, and missing delivery deadlines multiple times, I never got any apology or other expression of regret on their part. They seemed to regard it all as no big deal (maybe missed deadlines and ruined prints are a common thing at their business). I demanded a refund, which they gave me. I will now try to find another print, and start the process all over again. I will certainly never do business with Artists Edge again.

And I supported it wholeheartedly despite sometimes finding items slightly cheaper elsewhere. Additionally, as an art educator I always suggested it to my students for their value, as well as excellent and knowledgeable customer service. Unfortunately, I'm very disappointed to say both superb customer service and cost value are gone. Firstly, I learned from my students that student discount was no longer available. Then after my last visit, I was stunned how much the prices have increased. Still, I remained a dedicated patron. After coming home I realized one of the expensive wooden panels had a substantial gouge in the corner - simply too noticeable to try fixing. I confidently returned to the store but was told they would not take back the damaged items - because they couldn't verify it was damaged before my purchase. The associate was unbearably rude and dismissive. One my way out I expressed my profound disappointment with the current direction of this trusted business with another associate, only to have the associate I originally spoke with catch up with us. Now they changed their song, saying they could accept the damage item but I was very lucky because it's not something they always do. What?! The associate appeared to be making up policies as they went along. In the end I kept the damaged wooden panel, as I will keeping my business away from this place.
