623 S 32nd St, Richmond“Not only is Clay People THE place for ceramics supplies, but it's the ONLY place for ceramics supplies. Staff is friendly and there is quite an extensive selection of tools, glazes, and clay to choose from. Recommended!”
“Obsessed with Jim. It would be really easy to take advantage of people who don't know the first thing about niche furniture repair and crafts (ie. almost everyone). Instead of charging a fortune, Jim actually taught me how to repair the paper cord on my used Danish chairs myself and only charged me for the materials used. He is a learned & encouraging teacher - grateful for his expertise and the opportunity to learn a new skill!”

1501 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Oakland“Omg the variety! I was just visiting Oakland for the weekend and I found this gem right next to my hotel. I love it and will return again when I'm around the area.”
“I went there to get copies of an architectural drawing. I had no idea that it's also an art store with everything one might need. I especially liked the journal and sketchbook section. Great place that I somehow never knew about until now.”
“Dope shop with great selection of spray paint, caps and markers. Awesome shop tees and hoodies, usually stop in once a week. Great dude running the spot, super helpful if you have any questions about paint and great part of the neighborhood.”
“I've been looking for German Embossed Vintage Style Scrap Die Cut Relief's- for many years. I played with them as a child in Germany. It was such fun to find this small store packed full of treasures.They also have shipping available. The staff was very friendly and very helpful.”
“I called the store to see if they had a panel I needed and they did. The employee offered to hold it behind the counter as it was the last one on stock. A few minutes later she called me back to let me know that the panel had a tiny scratch and she was worried that it might affect my art project. I went to the store and the scratch was totally acceptable and would be invisible once I painted over it. I was impressed with her concern and that she took the time to call me back. She was also helpful when I was purchasing some watercolor brushes. I give this store and employee an excellent rating for caring customer service, professionalism and courtesy. Thank you so much!”
“An amazing arts based thrift store with some really fascinating items in store. Very friendly service. The customers are bohemian and the whole place feels welcoming.”
“An absolute must stop when nearby. So much great brands and high quality art supplies, all level of artists will love this spot. Great location and awesome staff.”
“Great place to take a stained glass class! We took both the one day beginner and multi week intermediate classes and learned so much.The studio was super helpful with rescheduling our last class that we missed in March 2020 and super understanding when we needed to stay an extra few minutes past close to finish and clean up. We love our projects, especially the intermediate class ones where we were able to sketch our own patterns.”
“I don't know what that last customer was on about but I think Blick does a good job taking care of me. all the workers there are team players and resourceful and I got a good deal recently on some cans they had on clearance. It's a small spot but it has a real local feel to it. none of that corperate stuff”

“The best place for sculpting and casting supplies in Northern California. An absolute treasure trove of ideas and inspiration. Knowledgeable staff and a good amount of samples to test what the silicone or resins will look like once cast. Highly rectify you are looking for any casting products (especially smooth on)”
