“Great selection. You can spend hours in here. Best thing is seeing the things you can do with items you can buy, so even if you are not that creative, you can still make beautiful things.”
“had a great experience here yesterday. the person who helped us out was verrrry busy but handled our questions with great knowledge and then took extra time to find something and track us down in the store to help us even more. not much else to say if all employees are anywhere near that helpful!”
“love seeing a local business with such a large collection of supplies! the staff went above and beyond helping me find what I was looking for while creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere! highly recommend”
“My wife and I were in town celebrating her 60th birthday and Bailey was kind enough to arrange a class for us as a present for her. What a fantastic experience! We can’t wait to come back and do it again!”
“Best art store in Portland you feel me. Don't ask me why just go find out for yourself. Dont sleep on the buy one get one though. Bogo type shhh. Aaaaaanyways.”
“Pearl Packing did a great job mounting a very large and heavy piece of art in a difficult location high in my stairwell. This was not a job a regular handyman would accept. This required creative problem solving, teamwork, and good communication and they were able to get it done while maintaining a careful consideration for my art. Everyone on the team was a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend their services.”
“I *love* working with the team here! Each time I've come in to get my paintings framed for shows, sales, events, or just for home decor, the I've Been Framed team has been so patient and informative. I can do the painting part - and I lean on their expertise, experience, and quality taste to help with the matting and framing. Each time, they come up with phenomenal solutions - aware of my budget limitations and challenges.
I love the solutions they came up with for my delicate watercolors! I think it was Dawn who helped me with this one (photo attached) with double mat and museum grade anti-reflective glass.?
Malachi especially spent a lot of time explaining and problem-solving many options for a series of small paintings I needed to get framed for a gallery show. THANK YOU! I'm so very grateful!”
“I had a weird experience at this location. My purchase allowed me to leave a review and I did. The next day the manager reached out to me directly to take responsibility, and tell me how they were going to address the problem. This response made me feel comfortable going back, I have been a few times since and have had positive interactions and left with some fun art supplies. It feels rare to get validation from a business and for people to demonstrate healthy conflict resolution. I think that is awesome! Thank you :)”
“Hands down, the best art supply store in Portland!! There is such an incredible variety of high quality materials in such a small space. All of us artsy folks are so lucky to have such a fantastic locally-owned supply shop right in the heart of SE Portland!”
“By far the best place for pottery supplies in the Portland area. Prices have a slight markup but well worth it to have a local supplier, getting an in-person look at glazes and clay bodies, and getting hands on with tools.”

Art Supplies
“This is a must visit business! If you are into upcycling, creating, and have an interest in Annie Sloan, IOD paint inlays, moulds, transfers, stamps, and items with creative texture you must stop by. Located in Lloyd Center next to the ice rink, upon entering you feel as though you walked into another world with enhancements and beauty.”
“my partner and i walked here from the east, so the sun was in our eyes. this, among other distractions, caused us to stumble upon this shop. thank you! now, i am keeping very good secrets safe in my new orange journal.”
“can't say anything that hasn't already been said hundreds of times in other reviews!
incredible staff who is willing to help every time i come in, expansive supply of... supplies, and very clean and organized!
i am a recent St. Johns resident, and it's dangerous that this place is so close and accessible. artist wallets beware!!”
“Being from out of town, I love the curated supplies, artist staff that can vouch for them and the opportunity to shop on Sunday after 5, when the Portland Art Museum closes.”
“The folks at Melt are the most perfect combination of knowledgeable, kind, professional and funny.
I regret not stopping in sooner and can’t wait to come back for a class!”
