“I have been an artist since childhood, so when I find a gem of an art materials store I am absolutely in heaven. Blicks, offers this and so much more. They have all types of materials- from all kinds of paints, chalk, paint markers, pastels, all types of tools for mediums and tons of different options for brands. Highly recommend this shop for your art material needs. They also have adorable cards, little funny gifts and so on. They even have a student discount (score!). Go check it out! Oh and the staff are all very friendly and happy to help!”
“Absolutely love going here with my husband to get beads and always get great service from Robert...kinda flock to him when we go in cuz he's very personable and professional...love to work with him ? thanks for the great service”
“If I could give 10 stars I would. Their service is phenomenal, and they always have what I need. And if they don't, they will get it. I have been disappointed in another clay distributor in the twin cities area time and time again and switched to Minnesota Clay and I can't get enough. I am always pleasantly surprised, no, shocked by how on the ball they are. I ordered clay a DAY ago, arrived TODAY. I am not saying that will be everyone's experience, but they continue to deliver LITERALLY and FIGURATIVELY.
10/5 stars, highly recommend.”
“I don’t have any reason to give less than 5. Staff is very helpful and has good number of items and items quality is good. I went to buy items for birthday party and found almost all items. Variety of items available with low prices. Why can’t you try when you need party stuff. Good place as well.”
“Always has the crafts that I need for my projects. And the staff is so good at helping me out. And when I need something specific I show the project on my phone so they help me out. Thanks Hobby Lobby!”
“There is a wonderful variety of stock (beads, thread, tools, wire, etc) and very helpful and kind staff. Prices are great too. I’d recommend Bobby Bead over Micheal’s any day”
“I love this shop and I’m so sad that these wonderful ladies are having to close it down. They have needlepoint and cross stitch patterns, embroidery threads from various brands, and many many accessories.”
“In addition to quality products, I know the owner personally. Truly a man of integrity and his products show it! There’s a commitment to customer service that is impressive.”
“Great time felting with family along with others crafts. Very friendly and helpful employees who help you learn what ever you want. Nice selection of art supplies and fun items. Great place to take kids”
“Frameworthy did an amazing job with my frame project. I had 2 professional pieces framed and Mark did an amazing job helping select options and backgrounds to keep it professional and tie things together. Love the work and will be back.”
“This store is wonderful. Full of your eclectic needs and beads! The staff was friendly and full of knowledge. I'll definitely come back next time I'm at the mall.”

“Really happy I stopped in. Decent pricing, has some brands/supplies that I haven't seen in other stores. It's on the MCAD campus, but not hard to get to. Plenty of parking available on side streets. Only downer is their limited business hours, but considering it's for students first before the general public, it makes sense. If you're curious and have free time during the week, I recommend checking it out. Because of my work hours, I can't make it a habitual spot for shopping, but I'm very glad I got to visit.”
“Great store even if you’re not an educator to get really great quality toys that are also developmentally beneficial. They also have lots for the kiddos to play with in the store to try it out before you buy.”
