Great store. Good amount of stock for the size. Extremely nice and helpful employees but that is what I know I will get when I shop at a Blick store or online.

This place has just about everything to cover any art project or passion you may have. My wife was there to look at clay and glazes for her pottery hobby. The staff was knowledgeable and what they didn't know for sure, they helped us look it up. We will be back!!
