Nicole was amazing, both very knowledgeable and professional. Really appreciated her expertise in getting my portraits framed.
This place makes me feel creative! They have supplies for all things crafty and my favorite thing is throughout the store they have crafts displayed that people have made to start getting your creative mind working. Plus they group all the supplies for that project together so you dont need to search. I love this place!
I recommend this place to anyone with framing needs based on the experience I had today. They listened to what I wanted and helped me gather everything I needed. Incredible customer service!Ive been trying to figure out how to hang a large print on a floating frame, so when I saw this place I stopped in to see if they might have something. The woman I talked to in the framing area was incredibly helpful! She talked to me about different ways they could mount it, and when I told her I was from out of the area she said she could sell me what I needed and talked to me about how to do it myself. She even recommended an item that they dont carry but found a place online where I could get it, and explained why they dont carry it and what I would need to watch for if I decided to use it. She was amazing, and provided exceptional service in an interaction that ended in a sale of about $15.
Neat shop with some very unique fabric. Always stop here when I am in town.
I loved this little craft store. Good selection and unique to this store items as well. Little cluttered so it would be hard to maneuver if you have a walker or a wheelchair. Very nice staff.
This arts and crafts store has all the things you would find at a big craft store. My low rating is a direct response to spending no less than $30 every time I go and having to walk out with a handful of arts and crafts because apparently nobody should need one anymore....lame. $0.25 juicy friend, fine dont give somebody a bag I get that. Over $30 in ticket items. I shouldnt have to ask, for reals. A silver lining is that they actually will price match and maybe even give you a better deal than whats on the tag. I bought some high-dollar watercolor pencils there and got them for half off because theyve never sold a set and it been on the shelf for a while.
Well, Ive lived here in Central Tacoma for 5 years and have always driven by this place. I have just gone to hobby lobby. They are the biggest hobby store around! THEN, a friend of mine had to go there and I tagged along. OMG! I LOVE THIS PLACE! whomever decorated and designed this beautiful hobby store gets a A+! I cant describe...just go!
This place is nice. They had everything I needed to finish up some graduation crafts for my kid
Artco has all the stuff to keep your crafts unique.
Over priced items, kitchy. Staff spend their time visiting with their friends and are unresponsive. No leather goods here. Someone listed it as having leather. I searched high and low. Nada.
Cute store lots of great specialty items. Amazing variety and prices were great. Employees also were very nice and super helpful.
This is a nice non-chain craft store. They carry a wide variety of items including yarn and fabric.
Friendly and informative staff. Lots to choose from.
I found a bunch of fun stuff here that I hadnt found elsewhere. The employees are kind and the store was clean.
I always enjoy going in here for the sorts of inventory they have that I cant seem to find anywhere else. This time in particular, I found ice blue 12 gauge jewelry wire. I cut my own jump rings for chainmaille, and this is wonderful!
Very bad visit couldnt find help when I needed it and the manager seemed to be following me as if I was trying to steal. I was very upset 😡 I pay for everything I purchase and when I tried to ask him something he like acted as if he didnt here me, I wont go back to that store I will look for another also I will tell my. Friends and they also w change
We drove two hours from Vancouver Wa to shop the Glitter Guy selection. We found the store to be well stocked and laid out. Being male in a crafts store may have triggered a are you lost response. The staff was very kind and attentive as I looked more my glitter feind of a wife. I foresee more treks to visit this shop. If you are crafty and in need of supplies. I hope you give them a try.
This store has such a variety of products! I like that it local business with friendly and helpful employees.Molly in the Frame Department went above and beyond for me! She is amazing!
Got asked for I.D. when using my apple pay. Young lady running the register this morning is special.I come prepared for the lack of customer service in return for cheaper prices but this is just whack.
Got what I was looking for on a deal for a great price. Helpful, friendly staff.
The frames are great and the customer service is really good and theyre quick
The BEST craft store I have ever found. Love supporting local and seeing their unique and one of kind selection of craft supplies
Very good selection, super nice, knowledgeable staff
Short staffed but friendly.Nice assortment of fabrics
Very helpful, when I didnt find exactly what I wanted they helped me create it, thank you 💕
They have everything but some are expensive
I love the after holiday sales and the staff are always so helpful. I like to craft a few decorations before putting Christmas decor away for the year so I have a fun homemade surprise when I open the bin next year.
Great customer service to help me find what I needed and I love my shopping experience they have so many wonderful things
Love their selection. Always fun customer service 😃
Had what I needed in and out fast
This is a great locally owned store with good service and products for crafts and picture framing.
Helpful and pleasant staff working. If you need a quick holiday decoration, or special gift wrapping supplies or agift of supplies for your favorite crafter. This would be the place to go. COVID19 protocol in effect. Have fun shopping.
So much fun shopping there! Holy buckets if you had an idea for a project....you will leave with a cart Full of that idea Plus a ton more!! Have fun!!
Friendly, helpful staff, competitive pricing and short lines. A quick alternative to JoAnns.
EXPENSIVE!They have some item that are unique. Its a fun place to get ideas, but so expensive. I try to find the items on Amazon.com after visiting the store... and they dont havecoupons. I think Tues is their military day.
Always helpful. Carry huge variety of art materials. Fantastic to have local, independent owned art store nearby.
Our favorite craft store.
They didnt really have what I wanted, I had to compermise
This is an awesome place to get your hands on some unique craft items. Ive been coming here ever since I was a child with my mom. It was her preferred store when it came to anything and everything Art related.The items that you can purchase here are much higher quality than that of Michaels. Even if you just drop by to take a look they have stunning displays that have always given me a little inspiration.
Such a cute little store with SO MUCH STUFF 😊 I didnt have much time to look but all the Christmas stuff was so adorable and decently priced.
Great place to get unusual craft supplies. Employees are nice and there is plenty of parking.
Artco always has what I need and staff who will help you find what youre looking for.
Very nice clean organized store with very friendly helpful staff.First time in there!!
Awesome shop and super helpful crew
Good prices and the staff are super helpful!
Staff is friendly and willing to help. Decent variety of crafting materials and good prices.
Great small business, lots of stock!
What a cool store. Similiar to hobby lobby.
I went into the store to get a piece of glass for a picture frame. The lady was super helpful and so very nice. Got home and realized I had measured wrong. Took back the next day. The guy in the frame shop couldnt have been any nicer and helpful. I then bought something and the clerk at the front was also as friendly as could be. I left both days smiling. Great customer service!!
Didnt have a good selection of acrylic blocks for stamping.
My favorite art store. Privately owned and FULL OF TREASURES
I love this store! Better selection than chain stores and very reasonable prices.
I loved this store!!!!!! Just go there and be prepared to be delighted!!! Its creativity run amuck!!! Loved it!
Great selection of reasonably priced products to choose from.
Great gift ideas and not bad prices
Loads of great art/craft things
Its always a great place to shop for unusual items but today wasnt one of them. We were looking for an older yarn and they didnt have but its still a great place to shop
Great selection and its a locally owned place with good prices.
Good customer service in this somewhat messy craft store.
Great variety. Friendly, helpful staff.
I love this store,always fun to shop there!
Love this store for my crafting supplies. The service here is always knowledgeable and helpful. The pricing very reasonable
My wife and daughter love to shop here when we visit Tacoma. They have a good selection of craft supplies. I usually go next door to harbor freight to look at tools LoL
Very friendly and helpful staff! What a selection of items. Wow!!
Prices here seemed a little high, but the service I was provided made it totally worth it. I went in looking for paint pens for a project but I didn’t know exactly what kind I needed. The associate (who I believe was a manager) walked me to the appropriate section, took the time to discuss my project with me, explained the different types of pens, and made recommendations. Sure, I probably could’ve purchased the pens on Amazon for cheaper. But I’m happy to support a business that provides this level of care. I was impressed that they carry such a wide selection and variety of items. I’ll definitely return here for supplies in the future!
It is nice they are open but the stock on some items is sparse.
Love this place!! They have things you cant find at Joannes or Michaels!! Family owned & awesome staff!! This is a must stop for any crafter!!
They live in the stone age and cant do debit transactions. Also denied me use of my Visa Debit card because I didnt have my drivers license on me. I was buying a $7 ruler and was denied despite having a bunch of stuff things in my wallet with my name on it.
I love this place!!! You cannot beat their customer service- many employees have been working there for YEARS. Artco almost always has what I need and is so fun to wander around and get lost in the adorableness! BUY LOCAL!!!
Great selection of gifts and crafts. They offer everything the chain stores carry and more at comparable prices. Friendly & knowledgeable staff! Cant beat the customer service. A must see for all! 😊
Great sales and great variety of items but rude a$$ older workers!!! If your so old and tired and hate ppl... dont be in customer service!!!! First time shopping... and last.. I wont be back.
Family owned company. They are always available to answer questions. Good selection of art supplies. I dont know much about there other offers. But for ease-of-use reasonable choice and a good price point I like them, maybe not the best selection in town but theyre solid.
They didnt have what I needed today, but so many more projects come to mind. I love this place.
Favorite craft store in Tacoma. A bit pricey, but lots of inventory to choose from. They also display many creative ideas for using their products. Lovely fabrics and yarns, plus anything else you might need for creating projects!
LOVE THIS PLACE! Cool papers for card making or other crafts, marking pens, unusual and unique fabrics, fun home decorating items (the 2 long claw foot bathtub is adorbs!), poster art! My gosh I could spend at least 3 hours just wandering around.
Great prices and selection
Great store, slightly higher prices but clean, organized, friendly and a lot of local stuff you wont find in the big chain stores. Well worth it!
Decent sized arts and crafts store thats been around for a long time, has a great selection of just about anything crafts-related that you can think of, and lots of things youve probably never thought of too. Only con for me personally is the higher, boutique-ish prices but I suppose thats too be expected at a like this.
Great local place that hosts classes to boot. They have a nice combination of decor and actual art and crafts supplies and I very rarely leave without whatever Ive gone in to find.My only complaint is the prices, and even those are understandable considering the location and situation.
Was very nice. Well stocked.
Fun place t shop.
I always find superior service at Artco Crafts. My questions are answered and the particulars of what I need for the projects Im working on are either found or ideas for an alternative are suggested. The service personal have some knowledge of the products and how one might use them. My most favorite aspec, is that I find their selection to be a bit more unique and not so generic as I find in each of the other like type stores that I have to choose from. They also recognize me when I come in even though my visits can be sporadic between them. I recommend Artco Crafts.
There are great deals and the staff is great
Fun independent craft store! Unique stock and covers a wide variety of art forms.
I love Artco for craft supplies and fabric. They have a good selection and good prices as well as friendly helpful staff. Be sure to sign up for their email list as they send out really good coupons at least monthly.
Love this large craft store with great selections to get you started in many crafts. Wonderful staff and great ambiance
It was more expensive than what I am willing to pay. They have an ok selection. They had 3 people working at close time and I was the only customer in the store. I had never been is Artco before so I was taking my name and reading packages. I recently started watching YouTube for ideas and I was pricing supplies. I felt uncomfortable the whole time I was in the store. The employees were following me around the store from a distance. It was really irratating. I dont like to feel like Im being stared at.
VERY SAD today!!!
When I want to look for some great accessories for my home or just some things for arts n crafts I like this store. They have a tremendous selection and its just fun to walk through the store. I have found each time Ive gone to the store the customer service has been lacking. The employees at the cash registers dont seem very pleased to be working with customers and often if I have a question the answer is very short and curt. Except for one experience, What have asked where to find something Ive never had an employee show me where something was. Ive always left the store feeling like it must not be a very good place to work as everyone seems very unhappy.
Lots of great ideas and a variety of crafting supplies .
Has fabric. We live in Gig Harbor and have no sorce of fabric. Good yarn selection too.
So many options and great deals. The staff is super friendly and quick. Love this local art and craft supply spot!
I love this store... It is my go to store for anything really. They have it all. All the employees know me so well since I am in the store almost every day for one thing or another. Awesome customer service and just a warm friendly environment. They also have monthly coupons that are usually a pretty good deal.
I love this family owned business! I could spend hours here if I had the time. The frame department is super good and so kind. They have taken care of me for the past 14 years. The prices are good! They have everything you can need! Never have had anyone be rude nor unhelpful. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!
Best Family Owned Arts & Craft Store in Washington State. Fabulous to work at the store, I know first hand... as I did. Love everything they carry especially the Rubber Stamping and Paper Crafts isles. Now that I have moved back to Tacoma, I will be shopping there for all my needs in crafting.
The frame shop is superlative. Ive worked with several different employees as Ive been getting my cache of artwork protected under glass and all have been very nice to work with, helpful to guide my choices with no pressure, and the work theyve done has all been top-notch.
