They didnt have everything I needed but the employees were so helpful in trying to help me find what I was trying to find. Great place, great at materials. For anyone who loves art you can spend a longer time there just thinking of what you can create with all the material you see. Highly recommended for beginner or expert... go check it out.

Awesome store with an almost unlimited Inventory of art supplies. I am very impressed with the store, but the only thing more impressive is the staff. They are very helpful and eager to help you with anything you need. The staff made my daughter and I visit a great experience. Thanks for all you did.👍👍

This is one of the best place for art supplies. I went there to pick up my art supplies and One of the staff Jimmy helped me to find all the supplies on my list by herself. She was super friendly and made me felt like I’ve been coming to this store from a long time. Other staff were also eager to help me if I needed anything. Awesome place to visit. Great place and friendly staff. Thanks Jimmy and all the staff for your help.

This is the place for all the art supplies you need. I’ve been been buying my supplies here for many many years. The service is great and sales people are friendly and knowledgeable. You can always find someone who’ll be able to answer your questions. I’ve never been disappointed. The selection and variety of brands and materials is outstanding. Keep an eye out for lots of good sales.

First time here. Place is incredible! They limit the amount of people in the store if it gets too crowded, so I was nice knowing they were doing what they could for our health and safety. They had everything I needed and more!

They have everything you need for creating art in a great abundance and selection. I was ready to $$$hop for many things, unfortunately they dont let you use their bathroom. Now I have to shop online or at another art supplies store. Bummer for them.

Other than having an awesome selection of art supplies, there are WAAAY too many employees for that itty bitty store, and you will NOT be able to browse the isles WITH YOUR HEADPHONES IN without being bugged every ten seconds by the freaking armada of people who work there. There are actually so many employees that it becomes a frustrating experience, and that is why you are only getting 3 stars, Mister Blick, because the very last thing I want when I am deep in thought about my next project is some ACP student disrupting me to ask me (even though I clearly have headphones in and I clearly cannot hear them) if I need help finding anything. No, I do not thank you, bugging me every freaking time I turn around... Not to mention that thier employees need the ENTIRE freaking isle to bump your thought process to a back burner... And today, I was not in the mood for it and it became such a freaking ISSUE that I actually terminated my shopping prematurely in favor of just leaving without satiating my desire for supplies. Tell you what, I understand that you have your store right next to ACP, and I am certain that you guys end up with a lot of thievery, but there HAS TO BE A DIFFERENT WAY than having teenagers bugging your customers into leaving frustrated.IM NOT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN AN ARTIST FOR LONGER THAN THEY HAVE BEEN ALIVE, BESIDES WHEN I FINALLY ASK THE PERSON THAT BUGGED ME HALF A DOZEN TIMES IF THEY KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT ANYTHING THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS NO.So either your employees do not want your store to make money, or they are making some baseless judgement of character based on physical appearances, which is totally bizarre for anything centric to an artistic culture.Also your Strathmore heavyweight paper is ridiculously overpriced.

Really nice store not so considerate of people with illness.Brought my lil girl in today to buy art supplies she has a brain malformation and is anemic she needs to pull down her mask to take deep breaths to get fresh ain in for her brain to avoid her passing out and the cashier just yelled at her to pull up her mask with no consideration was very rude and embarrassing as well as another female employee yelling 3xs telling us where the line is when you can clearly see where it is. Just all around terrible service .FYI next time i will spend my 130$ at Michaels

Great customer service, they are all very knowledgeable on the supplies they have and went out of their way to show me example of their products and differences in types of supplies I needed. I had gone In with a plan on what I was getting and they helped me find great deals and alternatives to what I was going for that would give me a better value of art and bang for my buck!

Staff is always super helpful, they have a wide amount of supplies, and sales are just constantly going on. Definitely a place where I sink my money.I love that they now have updated the website so you can see if your local store has the specific item in stock.

There are 2 shoe boxes filled with Blicks brush markers and an unopened Moleskine somewhere in my room from 2 years ago. Thats how much I like this place. No, I havent capitalized on becoming a comic book artist. But I still love art! 🎨🐇♥️

1-star bc they used to have a bathroom but they no longer let anyone use it. I get it, it’s COVID, but as we’re getting out of this pandemic, maybe consider reverting back? Especially for patrons of the store itself? Some of us do not have bladders of steel...

Blick art had a good selection although they did not carry what I was looking for. Unfortunately they wouldnt let me use their bathroom as I drove over 2 hours just to shop there, but I will squarely place the blame on city and county council persons for that.

This Blick store is the best Blick store!Mariam is the best. She always goes above and beyond. I had to call in a very big order for school art supplies. I emailed Mariam the list and she set off on putting together the materials.Not only that but I sent another list the very next day and Mariam filled that as well!I owe her so many thanks!With Covid-19 I could not go in the store myself, so Mariam was my personal shopper.I trust her so much I even said that if substitutions were necessary, she could make the decision.Incredible customer service - and not only this time; every time Id worked with Mariam shes been awesome!Really cant praise her enough!!THANK YOU MARIAM!!!!

Excellent place for art supplies to feed your creativity while you stay home and away from the virus, and be able to think in all of the projects that we want to do when time was available, well that time is now so lets be creative and have fun rather than feel sad or depressed because what is going on. Go buy yourself somthing that stimulate your creativity and look on line for instructions, must are free.

Review №53

I dont live near a blick store at all and this branch was the closest to me. Ideally I consider personally visiting a blick store as a last resort decision since online has better selection and prices, but I had to purchase paints on a timeline for a project I had to do. The line outside moved quickly and I was amazed at how consumer friendly the store was laid out.Ive been to the LA branch before and that place is hectic and crowded, they dont have a parking lot, and selection is too small, with too many things stuffed in one aisle.Employees are very knowledgeable at the Pasadena branch and prices are appropriate. I didnt see a lot of empty shelves. I just wish that there were more liquitex basics paint colors in stock, I had to mix and match between liquitexs different paint types. Checkout time was fast. I just wish I had more time to look around the store.Parking is free, its right across the street.

I am well pleased with my experience at Blick Art Materials on Raymond just North of Green in Old Pasadena.This day, they did not have what I need. However, after gracefully bounding the stairs to the upper level, and searching back stock and bins, Dana assured me that it would be in stock soon, and I could be contacted when it arrived.Outstanding.With a triangle in hand I descended the stairs to the register where the Associate promptly and efficiently, and with a smile, assisted me with my purchase and wished me a good day.Right on. Thank-you.

The only place in the area that reliably carries canvas for painting. The staff is pretty knowledgeable in all manners of fine art technique and practice. Not so knowledgeable about home crafts or specialty projects (kind of like the difference between artists and craftsmen) Place is popular with the art students because of its locality.

I love this store. Everything is always so organized and the staff is very friendly and approachable. They always seem eager to help you out and never rush me. The cashier that helped me even told me if I had found everything I needed if not she could help find something. Then she asked if I was a teacher or student which I respond with student she immediately gave me a discount and explained their free program. I wish stores were more like that. I recommend this store to anyone needing help with art supplies.

I love blick. If youre an artist or a wanna be artist youre going to love this store, its got everything. The fact that its small adds to the ambience. They usually have some discount stuff right at the front door I can never resist. And they have really great help there, if you read my reviews youll see that service is really important to me.

By far the best-priced and widest selection for art supplies. I regularly come here for supplies for watercolor, acrylic, drawing, and calligraphy. I called in to check stock and got answer quickly which I really appreciated. Even though I have an order from the online store on the way, I came to pick up a few things I forgot and Christine was very helpful and sweet. The nice staff and great items are the reason I put up with the 25 minute drive here.

Good variety and prices. Service ranges from decent to snobby. Always a bit of a weird vibe. This is opposed to the one in the Fairfax district where theyve always been pretty nice and helpful.
