After taking two beginning mosaic classes at Newark Arts Alliance, I ordered a Roman mosaics kit…read morefrom an Italian Esty Business, Intessere. This was a challenge for me of average artistry. I enjoyed the project and learned about the process. Though, I should have started with an easier kit. Finley's Art Shoppe was really helpful in figuring out a nice frame and mounting. When I created this mosaic, I had to hide the uneven mosaic boarder, and they did a great job centering it. After I get done my second, simpler kit from Intessere, I will have them frame it!

Been going to Finley's for over 20 yrs. Fantastic selections, great quality, great customer service.read more

I found this store and looked it up, and they had the peacock feathers in stock. That's how I got here. This store is located in Main Street at Exton next to Old Navy and Burlington coat factory. The parking lot is shared and plenty. As you enter the store, you pick up a cart, and you will see how well the store is maintained and stocked. Things are arranged well, and aisles are clearly marked. The staff was friendly and answered my questions with patience and even walked with me to locate the items I needed. I also installed their app and found coupons and used it for purchase and provides great value to the shop.

This may be a nice store in person, but as far as an online retailer (or wholesaler), not so much…read more I placed an order online, got an email 2 days later that my order had been received, and it took a week before they even shipped it. When it apparently went to Puerto Rico (on its way to Colorado) and hadn't arrived after a week (2 day shipping), I inquired with the USPS and was told I couldn't track it as I wasn't the shipper. When I contacted GCW, I got unhelpful responses essentially saying, "it shipped, we're no longer responsible". I'm still waiting for the package to leave PR, and have no idea when I'll get it. The person at Great Craft Works doesn't give me a name, any suggestions for getting the product to me sooner (and having me return the original package whenever it arrives), and isn't even friendly or sympathetic to my issue. I was going to set up a wholesale account with them for my business, but now I won't given the poor communication and customer support. To follow up: I got an email this morning from "Stan" today saying: "If you read our shipping and ordering information page. We always take about a week to ship. We are set up to handle the bigger accounts like stores and designers which allow for great shipping times. You may be happier with Amazon or your local bead shop. If you're a small business or an individual, don't expect to be treated well by this company.

She made it clear to everyone that purchased that she was the owner and how much she donates to causes. While I was being rung up (by a wonderful staff member) and other patron was donating art and filling out paperwork. One of the employees assisted and because the paperwork was messed up the owner said loudly and with a tone "there are too many hands in the pot". The employee and artist looked flabbergasted and I was shocked at the way the owner handles herself. Although the store has alot of supplies not found in craft stores, what I went for the employee stated they were out of stock of 5 items for watercolor. The staff was extremely nice, but because of the owners personality I will not be returning.
