Art Supplies in Arcata, CA

“This is the place to go for all your ceramics supplies. The store is well laid out, and the staff is very helpful. I just bought clay (they had what i wanted in stock), but there are many other products as well; glazes, tools, raw materials, etc.”

“Hello fellow artists, beginners, crafters, and gift hunters! Arcata Art Center is your one-stop shop for all things creative.

They’ve got quality art supplies and a great mix of unique gift items, things you didn’t know you needed until you walked in.

The staff actually knows their stuff , so you’ll leave with what you need. They do not upsell you although sometimes I wish they would cause I have a total addiction to art supplies.

The whole space is bursting with creativity from the signage to the window displays to the walls.

Whether you’re hunting for a specific brush, beautiful paper, or a last-minute gift, it’s worth stopping in.

Bonus: you’ll meet some rad humans and support a genuinely great local shop.”

“I thought this place was very lovely and the customer service was amazing. My wife and I made something for a friend, the thing about this place is the amount of experience you want to have is up to you! Like, you can buy something beautiful Already pre Made. Or like we did, look at every bowl of beads, pick out the ones you want and then sit in the back and string them together and make an event out of it. And then when you hit a wall due to lack of knowledge or skill, the girls, there are more than happy to help. Or something in the middle, you can walk in, pick out 5 beads. Tell the girl anklet, bracelet, necklace. They will string it all together and hand you a custom made present, that is one of a kind. I would highly recommend this place and I would do it again.”
