When I tell you that I LOVE this store, I really mean it! As an artist living in the small town of…read moreHamlet, I don't have access to true art supply stores nearby. 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!

I gotta say, this is one of the best art supply shops I've ever been it. It caters well to artists…read moreof many mediums. High quality paints and markers, GREAT selection of paper. 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!

At a loss for any kind of meaningful gift without personal access to N95 masks and other PPEs, I decided to restock her art supplies. Maybe this old love would give a little light. I combed online options to avoid stores and post office. Then I thought to support a local business in my daughter's chosen community. Art Mart & Academy is just minutes from her home. The store was not officially open, but the owner responded to my email. John talked with me at length about what I was looking for, texted me photos and was very helpful in matching the types and quality of products I'd selected online. Though he had no gift bags, he managed to find a sweet way to package all the items then texted me a photo to see if "the presentation" was ok. He also kept the required social distance from my son-in-law during pick-up. He kept a sense of humor, too. Art is a good thing to do in COVID-times. John will help you start or get better. Art Mart and Academy has customer service and the goods!

He had more than one customer but managed to keep both of us engaged in our purchase. I appreciated how he was able to demonstrate what my finished product would look like and when asked provided his opinion on the layout. Vartan is the kind of sales representative I miss in today's big box stores. He will be the reason why I will return. Completely different story when checking out at the front of the store. I selected an item where it had a 50% sign on the shelf but when I went to purchase I was told it was not on sale. The supervisor/manager was called who took, in my opinion, her own sweet time to walk 15 feet to the register I was at to say the item was not on sale. I offered to show her the item and sign but she did not want to be bothered. That is the person that I prefer to not see in customer service.

They also offer kits for everyone from beginners to experts, and have classes to help needle-pointers improve their skills. Busy store with adequate staffing. Located in the Park Towne Village mall on Woodlawn, it is easy to reach and provides loads of parking. As to value, bring your wallet. They sell a nice selection of quality products, but prices don't seem very competitive as everything seemed very expensive. Before you go, suggest you take a look on-line to get an idea of what is a good price.

In fact this shop has been open and hidden away in the back of a shopping center off of the daunting highway 74/Independence for a few years and only recently found its way onto Yelp. I stopped in on a slow, quiet Sunday. You could hear the Spanish-language church through the walls next door. The shop keeper (and owner) was clearly very used to it. After a quick bit of browsing I chatted with the owner at length about the business and what they focus on and can do. They are primarily aimed at scrapbooking and card making. If you're wanting to do some time intensive custom invitations or put memories down permanently they will have what you need. There is also a litany of markers, pens and such for putting a personal touch on things and maintaining that artistic bent. The owner was very kind and friendly. When I asked about origami papers, she said she's perfectly willing to order them although they don't carry them in-store. Last but certainly not least they offer classes on scrapbooking and card making for anyone worried about taking on the task. My review isn't exhaustive, most especially because I didn't look at the prices on anything and simply wouldn't be able to say for sure if they were good or competitive. But I have no reason to think the store won't appropriately serve the needs of someone looking for the specifics of this deep hobby.

I do think some items are very expensive for what they are. I love the option now for self check out. I think there could be better signage for this as often people are still waiting in line and don't seem to realize you can walk right up. I have to give a big shout out to Jennifer who was exceptional after the balloons I dropped off to get filled up somehow got lost. I was definitely disappointed as I bought specific ones for a theme party, but she called the morning of I was suppose to pick them up and truly was so apologetic and tried to make it right. She added in extras that fit the theme and really tried with their inventory. This location is in a big and busy shopping center with a big parking lot and many other stores and restaurants.

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.
