The hobby shop a few doors over was closed and took a shot here. Was greeted and assisted immediately. Staff was attentive to every customer and very friendly. The store has an impressive inventory and myriad of different crafts/supplies. They were even able to satisfy my needs for basic model building tools.

I’m not really an “artist”, but they’ve never made me feel unwelcome. Always very helpful, and willing to admit when they don’t know, rather than sell you something you don’t need. Most recently I needed advice on painting my pickguard. Despite being very busy someone found me ambling the aisles and helped me figure out what I needed and where to find it. He even found the little bottles of paint to save me some money. Very cool. It turned out great imo.

The main reason I visited this store was to buy purple and blue pens. I found so much more. The woman who helped me was very friendly, professional AND knowledgeable. The selection of pens of various colors, as well as other arts and crafts supplies, not to mention gift items is vast, to say the least. Also, the staffs commitment to keeping the store well-sanitized was quite evident when I saw another staff member cleaning the screen of the credit card/debit card payment machine. I look forward to returning to this store the next time I visit Philadelphia.

Definitely recommend this, family own with selected products, they mostly got your covered! Helpful and friendly staff assist you along the way! They do deals sometimes not even the chains can beat it

Their birthday cards are so unique!

This is a neighborhood gem. The sales people know their stuff, they have most of what you need for any project, and they will order items for local pick up if they run out of stock. They do a good job of limiting in person customers to a manageable number at a time so Ive never felt crowded during Covid shopping, and the touchless payment and cleaned payment counter are greatly appreciated. Thank you for making stay-at-home an opportunity to be more creative!

My favorite art supply in Philly proper. It is a small shop in comparison to the chains, but their selection and service are second to none.

Such an awesome arrange of supplies to choose from and the staff is super lovely and friendly

Hands down my favourite art store in the city. Helpful staff, large selection of supplies in various media.

Its so great there. Even better than Michaels or the deceased ac Moore

This store has 2 locations: one in Chestnut Hill and one in center City. I had only visited the Chestnut Hill store until I stumbled upon this one. I love most arts supply stores in general, but was already fond of this stores Chestnut Hill location because of its helpful and knowledgeable staff. The center City store is even better. Its stock is a little more edgy and diverse than the Chestnut Hill one which appealed to me. I walked out with many purchases for my personal work and my classroom. I will not only shop here in future for supplies but for holiday and birthday gifts as the merchandise was surprisingly inspiring in this regard. Check it out!

Brilliant supplier for all sorts of art related materials. They keep loads actually in stock and their prices are usually similar to or lower than online. Not the usual Blicks over priced half selection of nothing much.

Thank goodness there is still a local art store. The staff is amazingly helpful. They have my continued business!

Very helpful staff! Thank you!

Great customer service and well-priced items!

I stumbled onto this place by accident, and Im really glad I did! They have a huge variety of art and craft supplies packed into a relatively small store. The prices I saw were all very reasonable. Ill definitely be returning.

I just discovered this place while killing time before meeting a friend. Its wonderful! They have a great variety of things for all interests. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable but not intrusive. The atmosphere in the store is calm and laid-back. Its a lovely little oasis!

You can get your art supply here

The only place to get that red kuretake no. 55 marker in my left hand. Leave your bags behind the counter at the front...small power packed isles with obscure brands you cant get at Michaels or AC Moore, and they have their stuff too...suprisingly inexpensive for being in touristy higher tax bracket area. A caricaturists best friend with prisma art stix!

This is an excellent art store. They have a lot of quality supplies and really good prices. The staff are ayoer helpful. Dont be afraid to ask questions in advice. Definitely worth the trip.

Nice places but things there are super expensive. I can get some of their items cheaper online.

Upon entering the store I was greeted with a friendly welcome and I browsed the store. I kept asking questions and they kindly answered without any problems. I felt like we werent being watched. This store have a quite impressive set of arts and crafts. I will recommend this place for anyone that has talent in arts and craft, or is getting into arts and craft.

Great product.. Great service.

Extremely well stocked, its a true supplies haven for artists!

Fantastic independent art store, always great to wander in and get inspired.

My go to for artist supplies...always there to lend a hand....great prices.....i love this place

Great place for Artists and everyone who love to make creations! I can spend hours and can find everything ! The staff is super friendly !

Theres a really great selection here. Dont be deceived, it may look small on the outside but its got a lot of room and theres a down stairs. They also have great hand made papers in smaller sizes for cheap and a lot of linocutting supplies that other places dont have. If you want something unique this little place probably has it!

The store has everything you need! The steps are nice and do their job I definitely recommend this place.

Best place for art supplies.

Staff is ready to assist whatever artistic endeavor you have. Music piped in was Motown when I visited. Crafts for adults/children. I purchased a small cloth gift bag that holds a childs t-shirt & gift box.

Barely carries anything yarn related. Employees were a bit rude and seemed annoyed when I asked if that was the only place they had crochet supplies. The woman and the register was talking to another employee the entire time she was ringing me up. Didnt offer any type of greeting. In general Id say they arent customer service oriented at all.

One of my favorite art stores in the city. They have a bit of everything

Such a fun store to explore for kids crafts!

Great location, good customer service, arts n crafts even for the kids.

Ive never been disappointed with the store

Very nice staff member was very very helpful store has probably everything you could ask for!

Have wide range of best quality art supplies that are available to the public.

Fair price on quality supplies.

Such a great hidden treasure in the chestnut hill area Im there often and the stuff is always extremely helpful and happy

They always have what i need and then some.

My favorite art store. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, good sales.

Fantastic store with a large number of supplies. Staff was incredibly friendly AND knowledgeable; definitely will go back.

Everyone is helpful and there is so much variety

This place is great and especially because its a co-op for its workers. And reasonable prices!

Everyone here is extremely friendly and helpful, and their prices arent too bad either. There is a decent selection of art supplies, perfect for if youre an art student in the city.

I love all there local artists products. The service and staff r great

Nice art store that have everything you will ever need I recommend this over blick

Oh my gosh, what art or craft item do they NOT carry! Awesome store with almost anything an artist or crafter would need. Excellent selection and service.

Very Clean and Stocked Artist Supplies .

Theyre the nicest group of people. Always willing to help you with questions no matter how amateurish. My favorite art store in the city

I found everything I needed, very nice and helpful staff.

This is a great, old fashioned art supplies store right in Old City Philadelphia convenient to galleries and artists studios

Great selection of a wide range of products inside with a group of engaged staff always willing to answer questions. Its really helpful to physically hold and see art products as opposed to just ordering stuff online and I highly recommend doing so at a place like Artist & Craftsman Supply.

An employee owned artist supply store. The staff here are incredibly helpful and they will even let you sell some of your artwork here. They are always having some type of sale. Love this place.

Affordable art supplies and a wonderful staff

Great place to pick up art supplies! Students and teachers get a discount, too.

Great place. Great staff, odds and ends and everything in between

Great people with a lot of information about art

Excellent customer service

Great place great process

Love it here bc they have a wide variety of supplies. Store is peaceful and relaxing to shop in;)

They were very helpful and friendly.

Everything I needed, I was able to find here... and at VERY reasonable prices

I love this store! Im an oil painter and need stretcher bars, paint, etc. Artist and Craftsmen has a fantastic range of supplies at reasonable prices and super friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Love it! Im there at least twice a week for inspiration. Chestnut Hill store is even more fabulous. You can tell they learned so much more since opening the C.C. store. I would cry if they ever left.

Great selection and prices for a little shop in the city.

The staff is friendly and there is a pretty wide range of merchandise, some of which is generally cheaper than other retailers like Blick!

Right up the street from the el! They have so much stuff, great paint brands, lots of beautiful paper and just everything you think you might need down to the details

They had everything we needed.

Lovely hidden gem of a place. Wide selection and good prices. I also appreciate the creepy masks in the front. Nice touch.

Good inventory. Nice staff. good neighborhood / location.

Great art store - has everything you could possibly need. Prices are good too, very reasonable.

The Best Artist Supplier in Philly! Everything at the Right Price!

Tons of paints,markers, drawing tablets.. Enjoyed the technical drawing section

Wide variety of art supplies and even some novelty items. Everything from wood working tools to paints and canvases to calligraphy inks and pens.

10/21/2019 -- Not as big as some of the other arts & crafts shops or office supply stores, but still carries much of what those other stores do.

I went in just to browse and ended up finding some creepy looking plastic hands which were perfect for a Halloween party were having. Friendly staff, too.

A Lil mom and pop type store but they have a ton of fine art supplies! I get my Angelus Acylic Leather Piant there. So far the biggest coloection of colors. Also they will order any color or size that you want. People are nice too.

The only place I go to now for supplies. Blick never has what I need and their employees abandon you when you need help. Allegheny Arts prices are usually bumped up way higher than necessary. Artist and Craftsman has the best combination of helpful and knowledgeable employees and quality products - almost always in stock and often cheaper than anywhere else. Also sheets of paper have cheaper bulk rates if you buy more - perfect for a printmaker like me!

Such a great place to buy art supplies. The staff is super helpful and will patiently answers all your questions.

Best art supply store in Philly.

I was there a few weeks ago and am very impressed with their crafts supplies.

Great place, but didnt have the correct Moleskine sketch book we needed.

My partner says this place is tops

Loved the people that worked there to the prices on brands i like

Knowledgeable staff, good deals, good quality supplies. However, check your receipt as they made a mistake. But, fixed it over the phone.

Huge store full of all the art stuff you will ever need!

Love this place! Knowledgeable staff and they pretty much have everything you could possibly want. Decent prices. I only buy from here now.

Best gel pens

Very nice experience

Chock full of art supplies, gifts and possibilities.The staff was friendly and helpful without hovering. Highly recommended.

Lots of supplies!!! Awesome place!

All the supplies you need

Lots of super materials wanted to buy an easel ..they are expensive here

Great store, they stock everything an artist of any kind would need. Friendly, helpful staff.

The selection here is great and the staff are always very helpful

Great supplies that Ive been using forever. Prices are great and the dude even let me shop past closing the last time I was there.

Great selection, friendly and helpful, comfortable atmosphere.

Great place for artist supplies,they carry the same supplies as the major suppliers in Philly but less expensive.
