Superb Art Supplies. Customer service is Stellar!! My now go-to art store.

Love this place. Tons of art and craft supplies. The knowledgeable staff fl all over themselves to help you. Lots of great options for keeping children entertained. Fair prices, one of the best gems of Berkeley.

Great arts and craft store. definitely not a big box store type of place.

This is a great place for painters. Lots of different kinds of paint, canvas and supplies. They do have 48x96 foam core.

Seriously incredible! So many options, great prices, helpful staff. Every time I go I find everything I need and a few things I don’t. They also carry some great bullet journals, which can be hard to find in person. Absolutely love this place.

The staff is very helpful everytime I shop there

Aug.2021. It was very nice to see them open again I have a lot of projects to finish.

Fabulous art supply store.

Another neat local business which cant get any respect in 2020.

This is the best art store in the bay hands down! The employees are funky and nice and it’s not super corporate-It seems like they actually enjoy working there. I always find Something i wasnt planning on getting and If i can’t find what I came for they can often help me order it. The layout of the store is fun and there’s a whole back section with craft stuff. Long live artist and craftsman supply!

The staff, the supplies, the knowledge. Plus the UNBEATABLE PRICES, The list goes on. I wish there were artist & craftsman supply stores in every town!

Helpful workers and good selection of paper.

Great selection of art supplies and craft ideas. Its bigger than it looks with rooms in the back.

Helpful staff, good selection, fair prices, quality merchandise. Open till 7 pm.

Arrrg, Im gonna give 5 stars, which the store deserves, but in this case I also have a little criticism that COULD very well be my own misinterpretation. Im not an artist by hobby or training, so my ignorance is painfully obvious. Maybe Im projecting, but with some of the staff, I dunno, I feel like I have to apologize when I bring my items to the counter... I give them the benefit of the doubt anyway. These are tough times and everyone deserves a little slack..Good selection of materials, crafts in the back. Thank you for managing to be open through most if not all of the quarantine last year!

Ive acquired many high-quality art supplies from this store! Well-organized, clean, friendly staff, and much better priced than most art stores. It really has essentially everything. Some things Ive gotten: brush markers, watercolors, portable self-wetting watercolor brush, art crayon, spray paint, colored pencils, portable sketchbook!

Staff was very helpful needing art supplies for a teenage grand child. Was able to get the items needed

They have friendly staff and great prices. I especially appreciate the lowest prices on Golden products out of anywhere I can regularly obtain them from.

Perfect customer service. I wish I could give this place 10 Stars 🌟!

Very nice store with tons of different art supplies. You should be able to find whatever youre looking for. Prices are very reasonable as well. Definitely recommend.

Always a trip to be in there...chit chat..extra help and true Artists working the counter....love my lil Art Stops

They have so many great things for art. Are friendly and informed

Love this place! Employee owned, so service is always superb. Fantastic selection of art supplies as well as fun games & small gift items. Run, dont walk, very impressive.

Great selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and much better than other art supply chains. The real deal.

Unique local art supply shop

Lots of different items! They had almost everything!

I really enjoy this place and the location is very nice. I am a professional artist and I need a good selection which have. My one criticism is the prices could be a little lower on some items and they could partner with more specialty brands (like rosemary brushes for example)to compete and differentiate with blick more.

I love this place because all crafts do is help people create,grow,and come together. This place is awesome, they sell my favorite sharpie pins everybodys always stealing,and I bought some glue so I can fix things instead of replacing them. The staff are knowledgeable and very sweet. Very nice&quiet peaceful place.

My favorite art supply store.

If youve been to one youve been to them all - in a very convenient style! This location is plenty big and has all the regular stuff.They have a wide selection from casual arts and crafts to stellar fine arts supplies in all major mediums.This chain always has good sales and will give you a student discount with a smile. The people working at this location while I was here were very nice!

Amazing craft store that was much bigger and better stocked than I expected. They carry a wide variety of supplies covering pretty much anything you could need, whether youre a kid, hobbyist, or serious artist.Definitely worth checking out, even if just to walk around looking at the cool art supplies (as I usually end up doing when Im in the area).

Great independent art supply store with very helpful personnel.

Good selection, good prices, great customer service. And as someone else commented, love the music.

All of the employees here are very helpful and kind. Awesome selection of products and they even have handmade paper printed with cool designs that can be used for all kinds of stuff. Love this store.

Love this place and love the variety. Only critique is theyll be out of things and not get them back in for ages which is discouraging.That said, staff is nice and I can get inspired to try new materials here.

Great location, not too far from the South Berkeley Bart Station. Great for artists both professional or just beginning. The atmosphere is very relaxed and homey. Its easy to spend an hour or more here on the first visit, the selection is great. And the staff are really polite and helpful.

The waiting was a little too long under the heat, with a mask on, but once inside they were very helpful.

This is my go to llace for all arts & crafts

One of the last remaining gems in Berkeley. I hope they are not put out of business any time soon.

Ive been a patron of Artist and Craftsman for years, and its my favorite art supply store of all time! Their selection of materials, along with the range of quality and price points is impressive. Not only that, but their prices beat just about every other art store Ive had to find things from when away from A&C. The staff is really nice, very helpful, and will help you make an informed purchase when branching into unfamiliar art supply territory. They even do weekly draw and paint nights with customers. These guys are the best!!!

Spent at least an hour with Andrew, with my daughter and I getting supplies, incredibly patient and helpful. The best customer support we have ever received. Managed to get everything on a very long list at great prices. Thank you so much Andrew.

Big. Good selection. Have awesome sales often. I go here for fine detail brushes i dont see else where.

I was delighted to find an artist and craftsman store In Berkeley. Compared to blick there just seems to be more variety and selection, prices are more realistic and reasonable, checkout is usually quick and easy and staff is usually more friendly. 3 out of 4 staff that I interacted with were very helpful, one staff gave me incorrect info about a product. Cool store, like I said great selection for pros, hobbyists and for kids. This store like the one in Brooklyn, ny is painted very funky to look like an art studio. Would suggest over blick and would return during future visits to the area.

Best art supply store in the bay area. Cheaper than Blick on some things. A little more on some. Has a bunch of stuff Blick doesnt carry.

Dog-friendly so that rates 5 stars in my book. The friendly customer service and decent selection of materials cinches the deal.

Favorite place for craft supplies in Berkeley! There is a section in the back with paper and children supplies as well!

Love this place. Friendly service, decent prices, lots of options, good music, chill vibe.

Good place with good prices. Unfortunately the avenue is packed of people that need help in any way (Homeless). Make America grate again. Im afraid the only thing that will be grate and better is Twitter.Anyway, grate place to buy materials for Artists.

Love this place because its independent business and because everyone there is so friendly and nice they help you out with anything and everything. Including giving you tips on how to use materials.

So helpful!!!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Abundant supplies. Well organized.

My favorite art store! Professional quality to kids supplies. Helpful staff. Great space.

Love this place, the staff is v knowledgeable and sometimes have open products on the back if you want to test something. Bought fabric paint, screen printing ink, watercolors, brushes, stamps and even socks.

I dropped by recently and loved their rather uncluttered selection of art shtuff, but even more- loved the prices. They were having a sale at the time of, so there was a good helping of lovely markdown tags throughout the store... which really helps when the cost of materials can add up so fast! They stock all your standards- from canvas and acrylics to pen and paper. Didnt see anything special when I dropped by, but feel free to try your luck at scrounging!

Cool place..

Artist & Craftsman Supply is a well stocked independent store and carries items that others may not. Higgins ink markers and brushes as an example.

Great independant art supply store...near my office too, so I can just run over and pick up colored pencils and trace...super fine point pens...they always have exactly what I need.

Needed some spray Chalk. Looked around, everywhere. Nobody had it. Shopped online, shipping too expensive. Called this place. They had it, in tons of colors! They were friendly and competent. Not a pretty retail presentation, shelves are crammed with cool stuff. Highly recommended.

Awesome products, great service!

Way bigger on the inside. Students, teachers, and guild members shoukd go here for the discount alone.

They might not have the biggest selection for my hobbying needs, but it’s the customer service that keeps me coming back. Friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to take a minute to explain the difference between various products to a layman like me. I’m especially grateful to the young man in the beanie for helping me figure out which kind of glue I needed for my latest project. 5 stars!

Awesome! Big selection, prices are really good and employees were very helpful

The very best selection and variety, knowledgeable and super kind staff! ❤️

Incredible variety of supplies. Lot more in backroom. Very helpful staff. A little gem !

I love this store! Outstanding selection, great prices, helpful & eccentric staff, chill atmosphere.

I just came out of this store. The bored looking young man behind the counter couldnt be bothered to stop looking his phone long enough to walk to me where the glassine is located. Instead he just gave me directions and left me to go find it myself. When I came back to buy the sheets of glassine he couldnt be bothered to count them. Instead he just asked me how many...I could have said any number and possibly walked out with whatever amount I wanted. Then he didnt even bother to wrap them, I had to ask for paper. Then I watched him struggle to even do that well. I ended up wrapping them myself! Dont come here! They have a great selection of items, but you may wanna look elsewhere if you expect customer service. Its so disappointing. The city store is so friendly and helpful. I gave two stars for their selection. Thats it.

Wow what a great place for Artist of all kinds. The staff are friendly and very helpful.

This is the most wonderful place in the whole world.

A great and eclectic selection of both art and craft supplies at very reasonable prices. A fine Kids Section. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful.My first stop for art supplies in The Bay Area.

So many items to choose from! A massive selection of paints and paint supplies, woodworking tools, and pens. They even had modeling clay and castable silicone!

Well supplied store, friendly and informed help.

Good independent art supply store.

Friendly, helpful, creative space

Great shop that stocks supplies for a wide variety of artistic mediums.

Best Berkeley Arts & Craft supply store....its HUGE!!

In to general arts & crafts? Want something different than Michaels?Here is the place to go. Parking out front is limited but there is parking out back. Do not forget to check out the back past the canvas rolls. Youll miss the stamps, bed supplies and the bathroom.General art paints have a good selection up front. On the right side is drafting and pastels. On the left is oils, gauche and water colors.Back right is the textile and wood burning section.

Lots to choose from. I’ve only shopped a small handful of times but I’ve never left disappointed.

Probably one of my favorite local art stores. The best prices around. A wide variety of supplys and friendly seevice.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They also offer discounts to students/teachers!

Better than Blick in every way. Price is always cheaper. Helpful employees and cool inventory, and parking is ample.

They’ve got a lot of different ‘intro’ kits to projects and crafts. That said, if you’re already heavily involved in woodworking, pottery, sculpting etc there are cheaper places that cater to your specific hobby.

This is a great store wide variety of art supplies plus some interesting toys and games in the back

Great selection and pleasant staff, they leave you alone unless you ask for help, which is nice as it gives you peace to browse at your own pace.

Awesome friendly employees. Awesome selection for all ones artistic needs.

Great little store! Check out the manager specials-- I found a pad of pen paper I normally wouldnt have sought out but it is one of my favorites!

Best art store on the west side of the galaxy.

I love this store, the sales hello always helpful the quality of products high and the variety good

This is a well stocked craft store with everything you will need to do crafts. Except the exact kind of tassels I want.

I having a great time in the store. I loved.

Best place to get set supplies.

Love this place, my favorite for art and craft supplies. Staff is very friendly and helpful, prices are good.

Lots of great knowledge and basically anything you need for art

Great little arts n crafts store with good pricing!

What a find. So different in terms of range of products compared to Blick. Ill be back.

It has everything you need. Friendly staff. Very helpful.

Small, but packed with so much stuff, almost always find what I need. Good selection of a variety of art and craft needs

A great place to support local business. They have a student discount and great sales too!

Great selection, much bigger than it looks from the outside. Good discounts for students and friendly staff.

Just wonderful!!! Good selection of Art Supplies...
