I love this place! They have a giant selection of supplies, paint, mediums, brushes, canvases and so much more. Theres never been anything I was looking for that they didnt have. The staff are very knowledgeable and so friendly. I would recommend this place over big chain store a 1,000+ times. Plus prices are reasonable and they let me bring my dog inside 🎨🖌️

Knowledgeable staff, great selection and affordable prices. Love the low-key atmosphere and the authentic art-filled atmosphere. It is a refreshing contrast to corporate big box art stores.

As a full time artist this is my favorite place to visit! It blows Michaels AWAY, theres no comparison. Right down the block and an easy bus ride away. They have almost everything I need. I also LOVE the giant canvases in the back of the store... my poor little heart hopes to one day make my masterpiece 🥲

Great staff and prices, always happy to support a local company. Free parking for customers in the lot across the street. Ive yet to visit their Tacoma location.This one has a good selection of screen print and woodblock supplies, too, and other niche crafts which can be difficult to find elsewhere.I love the gifts section as well, I got my girlfriend and her kids some great birthday presents here.

Amazing art supply store! Incredible inventory and so many options. Its worth wandering through even if you know what you want just because youll get so many ideas.Ive found the staff to sometimes be a bit over busy, but very helpful and knowledgeable. They know their stuff and are happy to geek out with you!

LOVE this place!! This is not Michael’s or JoAnn. They have real art supplies for pretty much any art form, and for any skill level from grade school to professional. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly, they don’t condescend to an amateur such as myself. Really can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Review №14

This place is SO COOL! Theyve got everything you could really possibly need if youve set out on creating something. Its a bit out of the way, but its definitely worth the visit just to see what cool and fun things they have and how diverse the world of crafts can be. I bought some Angelus leather paints to paint some white shoes, and the paint quality was great! The shoes came out looking amazing. All the prices are extremely reasonable, and the employees are super friendly and helpful. Overall the vibe here is great and it could be a nice stop even for a day out.

Three good things about this place1. The place will literally transport into a world of art and niceties, you can get lost in there and there is nothing that you wouldnt find.2. The people are so kind both the people who run the store and the ones who visit3. There is a student discount for UW students.

One of the few really great, broad scoped art supply stores in the area. They have the little things you couldnt find anywhere else, as all as the ones you didnt know you needed. The staff here top notch in their customer service as well. Always a pleasure coming here.

A wonderland of delights, a feast for the eyes and soul.They have whatever you need, just go. No other art or craft supply store holds a candle to this place.Also a surprisingly excellent place to buy gifts as they have a large section of curiosities, little games and toys, trinkets, as well as beautiful things throughout the store like gorgeous one of a kind journals, hard to find fancy pens, and the like.

This place is such an amazing store it’s kinda like one of those hole in the wall places you make think twice about but I promise you it’s not you have to check it out they have these amazing papier-mâché animals hanging from the ceiling. It’s had the widest variety of paint brushes, canvas, miniatures… you name it they’ve got it

When you cant find it any place else..! Check here before ordering online, they probably have what youre looking for. This place is massive, looking around the back is well worth the extra 20 minutes. Love this place.

Review №27

This was my first visit to a craft store outside of Joannes or Michaels. I was concerned about what they would or wouldnt have, but they seem to have a better selection than the chains Im used to. Plus they feature art from customers and employees, which I think is such a great idea.

This is my favorite art store in Seattle! They have a great selection of supplies for artists of any level and the employees are incredibly kind and very knowledgeable about art materials.

Great variety of artist/professional supplies as well as student grade supplies. Comparable to Blick plus a ton of craft supplies. Infinitely better selection of art supplies than Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Lots of open stock stuff. Prices are similar to Blick (teachers and students get a discount too). Free parking (!!!!!!!!!) in the lot across the street with a code that can be found on the outside of the building.

Pretty Incredible Art Supply Store with one of the rudest employee interactions I have ever witnessed. Seriously disgusting to see and positive that I think it was also racial profiling.

Review №47

Amazing art store. I can always find what Im looking for here. The store is bigger than it looks on the outside so make sure you check with them if you cant find something. Plus they are great about keeping up with social distancing by letting a few people in at a time, which I appreciate. Friendly service, great prices, and a wide variety of craft items. If I take a shot at painting, Ill go straight to this store. Its a one-stop shop.

Coolest craft store Ive been to. They have at least the basics for EVERYTHING-- including things like stone carving! Ive never met a staff member who wasnt an absolute expert on everything I asked about. A must-visit in my opinion.

This is an awesome little shop that has a wide range of fine art supplies, craft supplies, curio gag items and pen and ink products for dip pens,fountain and technical pens.I was in Seattle for a class at Gage and Blick didn’t have what I needed and I found Blicks online selection and prices to be far better than their brick and mortar options sadly.I was told about Artists & Craftsman by someone in my figure drawing class and I’m so glad she mentioned them; A&C is an awesome if somewhat hidden gem. Parking is a bit of an issue (its Seattle), I ended up buying something at the Petco on top of them and running down to A&C afterwards.I was able to grab the Winsor & Newton and Nitram charcoal I needed, as well as a few of my favorite Faber Castell kneaded erasers.They had all my favorite oil and watercolor brands and some of my favorite dip pen (Ziller’s) and fountain pen (Noodler’s) inks.I grabbed a Van Gogh ear eraser at the register and called it a day.The staff was awesome and helpful 👌🏽💜.I plan on stopping by the next time I’m over on the west side of the state because I love Artists & Craftsmen!

Review №55

They have a great selection of products, but watch out for surly, disgruntled employees answering the phone. My wife called and just wanted to order a product *that they told her just a day earlier that they could* and the person who answered the phone did everything they could to make the call hostile. No need to get into the minutiae of the conversation, but needless to say, we ended up not being able to order the product. If the employee’s goal was to get us off the phone and take our business elsewhere, mission accomplished!

This store has a huge selection! Not only that, but the place is spacious and fun to explore. The staff has been consistently friendly, polite, and helpful.As someone who draws and paints, I appreciate the space dedicated to assembling stretcher bars. They have a table where you can test to make sure they fit together properly.I love this place. Being new in town, it’s already beginning to feel like a second home. I could spend hours here.

Really lovely local business. Great selection, super friendly staff. I was just stopping by to get some art supplies for my kid, nothing fancy at all, and they were super cool about it and didnt try to upsell me on professional art supplies or anything, although they clearly had them. Spots like this remind me why I love local business.

This is honestly an amazing place to go if you are looking for a wide range of crafts, especially ones you wont find anywhere else. I personally went to this store because their selection of dyes is unbelievable! They have almost every type of dye, including acid dyes, and in a HUGE assortment of colors. Oh! And the staff was not only helpful and respectful, but they add to the unique atmosphere of this craft store.Btw, if you are a student, let the cashier know! They offer some discounts for students.

This place is my go to art store above all the other ones. Friendly and helpful employees, free pallets out front if you ever need to build a platform for your tent in one of the near by homeless camps, if doesnt apply to you then you are winning before you even go there and congrats on a job well done. You must be perfect, wow! Im amazed maybe if you see me flying a sign you could throw me a buck or two that would be much appreciated

Huge selection of art gear. Kind of a funky place with a warehouse-like feel. But I suppose this keeps prices low. Purchased a couple of sets of copix, prices were better than Amazon.
