- RLRye LedfordJan 2, 20263.0The staff members are always very kind and incredibly helpful. The store is always organized and has a wide selection. My issue is specifically with the Blick specific art line. Over the years the quality of blick items has gone down significantly. I urge beginners of any art/hobby to spend a little extra and avoid blick branded items. I find the quality is often so bad it makes starting out even more difficult. For instance Blick branded cone 6 clay is impossible to throw or hand build with. The block printing ink is nearly impossible for an experienced printer to get a good print from. The acrylic paint has a terrible consistency and coverage (as well as the color mix is weird). For beginners and experienced artists alike a suggest spending the few extra dollars and saving yourself the headache - avoid blick labeled art supplies when possible.

- EOEmma OsbornDec 19, 20255.0Best framing experience ever. They do such great work here.
- RSRyan SandersonDec 16, 20252.0Please fix your line setup in the front of the store. Some customers do not see where the line starts and then everyone waiting in the actual line has to wait longer. There has to be a better design. It happens every time I’m checking out.
