    Everyone was helpful as always!! One gentleman advised what oven bake clays were best for my project. Another gave advice on how to achieve a result that I wouldn't have considered but totally worked *and* is a much safer process than the mirror cutting I was planning on!! Always an educational and delightful experience to peruse these crafty shelves! Used the last of my birthday funds; had to limit myself as I could get carried away with all the supplies! My visit absolutely made my day 😊 I ❤️ Blick!!!

    Great place, wide selection, and the employees were sweethearts. If you’re looking for an art portfolio book, this is the place to go! It’s a little pricey, but that’s the life of a college student, right? Anyway, shop here for portfolio books, art supplies, or just check in and find some cute things near the entrance.

    Great place. Has most everything you might need for an art project. Parking was a nightmare but otherwise a quick trip. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

    First time there, at the worst possible time as they're moving to the space next door, yet they were still incredibly helpful and friendly. TheWife and I are looking forward to going back when they're all settled in and wandering the aisles.
