I used to shop at Hobby Lobby and Michaels but at Asel art I feel at home! They have so much to choose from. As a painter, they have everything and more that suits my needs! The staff is very friendly and helpful, also the prices are better than some of the stuff at other places I have shopped at. This is my go to place and I couldnt be happier! Definitely worth stopping by for your next art project!

Ive been visiting this shop off and on for close to a decade for gifts for my sister, and recently to start my own inventory. They have always had spot on customer service and fantastic deals that were always helpful for a student wanting quality products. The staff are willing to go out of their way to make sure youre getting exactly what you nee, with my most recent experience involving them mixing colors to make sure I was getting the right shades for my project.I would give 20 stars of possible.

Best art supplies in town. Not for crafts so much...they cater to artists. Manager John is an encyclopedia of artists materials and techniques, and his staff always offers friendly and savvy service.

It amazes me how such a small store has whatever art supply I need. Yesterday I had a lovely selection of block inks to choose from. Today I wanted a silk screen kit, and they did not disappoint. Always great personal service there too. So blessed to have them in the neighborhood!

Ka
Review №23

The selection was amazing and so were the prices, not to mention the great customer service! The man who helped me was sooo amazing! Once he found out I teach painting classes, he showed me every type of paint possible that could be used, thoroughly explained the differences between the brands, and even gave me a free tube of paint as a sample! I can not express how much I enjoyed my experience here and the knowledgeable artist.

I took my son by today to pick up his first sketch pad and pencils. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the gentleman’s name that helped up but he was a ball of energy. That made the visit so much fun and would highly recommend this store over any others in San Antonio.Keep up the great work!

Review №25

They are clearly geared for students, and the prices reflect that assumption. However, they are pretty easy going about the student discount, so be sure to mention if you are a struggling independent artist. I love their variety of ink, pen and drawing utensils and especially that they are sold individually. I come here for the perfect pen when I need a specific job done. The paints are expensive but the brands are well chosen and sold individually by tube, same with brushes and ink supplies. The large canvases are well stocked and the dimensions arent just square and 5:3 rectangles, but some more interesting ones as well.I love coming here, but can never get more than a couple items with my budget. If you need standard things, go to the craft store with their weekly coupon. Come here knowing what you need in specific or high quality supplies. Unless you have $$, in which case have a blast!!

Customer service was great. Went in with a list for my son and one of the guys that worked there just asked for our list to help us find everything. Art supplies are expensive in general.. But I would go back if we needed anything else.

I almost lost myself in this store. Im all about supporting local business as apposed to the big corporate stores. Had everything an artist could need or want. In fact, I walked in for one thing and walked out with about 10. Friendly staff and though the prices are a bit higher than a super store, it was well worth it.

Review №51

We went in and were immediately greeted and helped. Received individual attention from the manager for almost an hour, helping us find the right pencils we needed. Im floored with how cool the staff was, and the selection was just what we needed. Go here if you have any need for any writing/drawing/painting/engineer drafting materials. Coming from a mostly-online shopper, Im coming back here instead.
