Reviews of Artist & Craftsman Supply Baltimore

Ms. Winston

I’m giving a 5star because I love this store(s) the customer service is always great and the selection is fantastic. With all that said please be mindful to check your Products prior to leaving I purchased 9 shoe paints and 6 of them were old becoming Chunky in texture or a few days from it. (Requiring another trip😅 ). It happens but with that large of a selection of spoiled paint I hope the staff can check them prior to putting them on the shelf 🥴😅 (and checking them periodically) Back to the love ❤️ for this store 🥰

Melissa Sutherland Moss

Lovely & helpful staff. Barbie & I enjoyed browsing and looking at the beautifully organized supplies. Things seemed a bit pricy but I didn’t get the opportunity to compare it to anything else. I did think $4 was expensive for thumbtacks. The store is on a busy corner. They seem to have parking but I’m not sure how to access it as I do not drive.

A&C Supply is in a great location, which guarantees free parking in the middle of the city, and has more square feet of space than any other arts/craft shop in the city. That alone would be enough, but they also stock the thousands of square feet with supplies! They can arm you for probably any arts & crafts project you need tools or supplies for. I defy you to name an art project you're involved with or a craft you need to feed and test them. Be it painting, sculpting, welding, knitting... They even have an entire floor mostly dedicated to paper! The place is stunning, and it's staffed with helpful folk who are artists and/or craftspeople. There's always someone who can help. And most of them have been there for years. It's comfy.

Carol Henshaw

This is the BIGGEST art store I’ve ever seen. My husband went back to feed the meter because no way would I see everything before our time ran out. There’s a little bit of everything and many things I’d never seen before. It’s like walking into Wonka’s factory but with no calories. Some of the prices are a little high and some are good. Whether you need kids’ craft stuff, stretched canvas, paint & brushes, or a gift for an artsy friend, you’ll probably find it here.

Harold Williams

Nice selection for silk screening knowledgeable staff great friendly place to get your heart and pet supplies love it that is in the Art District across from the school Art School

Matthew Stinson

For god's sake people, if you stop in and have a good experience with a business, don't just plop on the internet and leave a 2 star review! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? If you have a good experience and nothing went wrong that is a FIVE STAR review. People's lives and local businesses are at stake. I see people like "found everything I need and the people were helpful" -two stars. TF is wrong with you, do you not understand how numbers work? This is my favorite art store in the city, its got cool vibes and nice people and a great selection! Oh, the people outside are "sketchy"? That has NOTHING to do with the business (also check your bias). If you are on google giving stuff a 2 star review because it adequately solved your problem but wasn't a magical transformative experience YOU SUCK. Shop here! The last thing anyone wants is for them to close and some s***thole chipotle chic-fil-a soulless-a$$ chain restaurant to move into the space. Y'all are gonna 2 star review your way out of having an interesting city.

Kat Zotti

Thank goodness for Artist and Craftsman! As a multidisciplinary artist this is my first stop for supplies. To prepare for a show I am vending I was able to find price stickers, paper tags, cork for my display, spray paint, and earring backs. Also, I have always loved my interactions with the artists working there. Definitely reccomend!

Angela cichetti deppe

Jackson shared his in-depth knowledge of pigments and tinting strengths to help me select the best Michael Harding oil paints for my purposes. Great prices, everyone is pleasant on the phone, and even parking is a fun adventure. Great destination and much faster that mail order.

Anita Randolph

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Friendly Very organized Great deals! Parking is around the corner

Ryan Jones

This was a great spot. The staff was very friendly and had plenty of advice when I asked and left me to browse in peace the rest of the time. That is a skill not many people have. There was a great selection of stock and this is where I’ll be going for now on for my supplies.

christine mau

Great creative vibe. If you can't find what your looking for, you probably just need to ask as this place has everything for the professional or casual artist. Staff are knowledgeable about the options available.

We went on a weekend trip to Baltimore and my wife knew about this company and had to visit their shop in town. She loved it and felt inspired.

Abigail Eisley

THE best place for arts and crafts supplies.

Timothy Eakin

Great store, very competent and helpful employees which is huge! I have never had a bad experience shopping here. All around positive.

BETTY BARKAS HOOD

I love this place! It was a horrible night in December, 2019. I was looking for a place to park right down the street on North Avenue around 6pm. I pulled into a space that didn’t permit parking in that space, I realized, although the space ahead did, and there was a car parked there. So I put my signal on to merge into the lane and checked traffic in the side mirror. It appeared this guy was gonna let me merge, but that was not the case. Instead, he stepped on the gas and hit my left fender. According to the officer (and any reasonable person) it was a “Hit & Run” Geico, however, claimed I was at fault. So be really careful when choosing car insurers. The economic repercussions and emotional distress are far greater than a damaged fender. But though shaken, I was determined to get supplies. I was totally frazzled when I walked through the door. That’s when I met William and he’s been helping me ever since. For example, on that night, I had no idea my bag was open, until they told me. I was completely disoriented, so William walked me through the list in my head. But here’s the finest example of service. It was time to get a large canvas. But the one I chose was too large for me to hold, so William carried the canvas to where I had parked after being hit: the McDonalds on North Avenue. But even worse, however much we tried, it didn’t fit in my car. So we had to walk it back to the store, so I could select a smaller canvas, and William carried that back to the car. Now I don’t know how to adequately define that type of experience. It’s beyond good service. Guessing it’s more like «π». I’ve been a regular since 2015. Great place to buy art supplies and staff is great!

Chris Worsley

Huge selection of art supplies. For just about anybody who enjoys making, they have tons of products you'll love. Good prices. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be shopping there again!

Keke Smith

Please drive around the block from the bridge down the street to the parking lot below. This staff was extremely friendly here and while there's a lot of supplies here, I wish they had just a TOUCH more.

Jenny Delacruz

It's even bigger than my old Artist & Craftsman store back at home. It has 2 floors and many many great things for artists to buy for low prices. There are a lot of discounts but you may still want to price compare and check some things. It's situated in a great place in my opinion (close to an art school). Great store with nice employees. And you get a free tote bag too.

IWC IWC

An amazing art store so filled with crazy things you could browse for a week straight and not see everything. This place is way better than the typical art supply store as its packed with everything you need plus a lot of stuff you just want. It's a throwback mashup of old school toy store, art store, and oddities museum. Prices are decent and staff is great. Pro tip: there is parking on clipper mill rd so you can avoid scary North ave.

Jesse Rose

Excellent craft store. Always super kind. There is parking down below but you have to walk up stairs then so be aware

Adrienne Price

Love this store and all that it has. They have competitive prices on art stuff, and a huge variety. Their instagram presence is good and they are really helpful. There's also really neat stuff so it's also good as a semi-museum gift shop.

no name

Been one of my favorite art stores for years. Great selection, good prices, super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Always had great experiences and always left more than happy. Seriously, great employees!

Positiff Vibrations

This place is all you need to make your crafting dreams come true!!! Def not just for painters...it has EVERYTHING!!! It gave me a zillion ideas for my next project :) the atmosphere and the outside of the building not to mention the staff all make it filled with great vibes!!! I can't say enough great stuff about the selection, the supplies, the unique items I have never even seen before...if u are a serious artist or just like it as a hobby, this is the place to go!!! And it's not a corporation ;)

Marianne Langlois

Omg! This place is amazing!!! It has such an artistic, happy, inspiring look and feel! I could feel inspiration growing all around me! Everyone is so nice and friendly and sooo helpful! There is a wide range of products, things you can't find in most art stores, it has great prices too!

Jackie Dew

Visited this store for the first time today. It was wonderful!! Lots of cool ideas from just walking around and the folx working were super nice and helpful. There's a whole other level upstairs too!

Carolyn Stolte

Olivia B was awesome today! Helped me find the perfect picture frames and had such a positive attitude! This store is a Baltimore staple and wonderful in every way. Also, thanks for being so generous to your educators!

ALICIA STEWART

My first time visiting this store was in March, 2019. I went to the store with my friend. I should be ashamed of myself because I drive past here on my way home. This place is amazing! Great staff and a huge selection of arts and crafts. The staff is wonderful and were a huge help in offering advice for any questions that I had.

D. Hunter

I am an artist, but not have not had formal education. Due to this, I often have questions about things I don't use as often. What I love about this place is that they provide full answers to my questions as well as educate me on the use, and need for the items. I appreciate that a lot as it saves money and time.

Samantha Paschke

Even if you're just an art enthusiast and don't consider yourself particularly talented, get out of your comfort zone and consider buying your art supplies from this store! The selection is so great and you might even be inspired to try something new! And, the prices are affordable!

Yolanda Cannon

This community art store is the BEST!! They do their best to answer questions. Very kind and friendly ALWAYS💖💖 They also give great recommendations about what you're trying to buy or whatever you may be working on. Just a great group of workers, I only come to their store. Thanks for all you do for everyone....THANK YOU!!!💖💕😍 …

Suzannah Porter

I love love love it. The only problem is the parking, which is down a mountain of stairs and under an overpass. You can't as a woman walk to your car after dark, and if you have a mobility disability you are basically screwed. The place itself is amazing, friendly, and thrifty.

Zackery Wyjadka

This store is essentially as it is an art store. While their selection is great and they have wonderful buttons along with gemstones as an addition to the normal art craft Supply, it can be a bit pricey if you are not an art student. But for those who are art students don't forget to tell them that you are because you will get a discount.

Chet Rhodes

A bit tricky to find the parking which is around the back and down on a lower street underneath the bridge. And then you have to climb a set of steps to get back up to the store but a great store for art supplies

Elizabeth STEVENS

Fantastic, so much fun!! The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful. First time there. I will be back!!! Thank you guys.

Doug Goodhill

This place has everything. In the "on line" age you cannot reproduce the experience of wandering this store, or chatting with the employees. Just thinking about it makes me want to buy a few colored pencils!!!

Patricia Dahan

Cool store that has everything for art and great sales! Staff was very helpful and friendly. Parking lot behind building and great workout walking up what feels like 5 stories of stairs!

Kimberly King

I love this place. My first visit to this place overwhelmed my soul with joy so much that a tear escaped my eye after seeing everything they had for artists. Beautiful store. Good customer service.

Brandon Johnson

Love, Love, LOVE this store!!! Full of anything 1 would want- whether an artist, would-be artist, hobbyist, or someone who just occasionally picks up a paper & pencil. They've got a great range of product and pricing, and the staff is amazingly nice & informed; and the place exudes creativity and has an undeniably inviting artsiness lol. Cant wait to have a reason to go back. MY NEW FAVORITE STORE!!!

Aileen G

This place is the BEST! Always an inspiration. The folks that work there are working artists and always helpful in answering questions in the "how" of making your vision come to life. It's a creative wonderland ~ go explore!

Alexei Kolesnikov

Friendliest staff, very knowledgeable. The prices are quite competitive, with an additional discount if you have a student or teacher ID. They have free parking on the lot off Falls road, if you don't mind climbing the stairs.

Sherrie Bishop

Excellent stock and staff.

Scott Chetelat

They have the biggest supply of pigma micron pens here. Parking is under the bridge. They also carry cheaper alternatives to the more expensive brands which is nice if you're just trying something out. It's worth the drive into the city.

Neferista Merrusheta

I love this arts & crafts store. Everyone there is so helpful and they've generally got what I am looking for there.

Joe Varacalle

Incredible inventory and the staff were very helpful in finding what I was looking for. It's great to shop locally, brick and mortar, where the folks have a passion and know what they are selling.

Theresa Lingebach

Awesome store; Wide variety of artist & craftsman supplies; Friendly & incredibly helpful staff; Never once have I had a negative experience here!

Carolyn Jewell

The best kept secret for little, unique gifts, cards, wrapping paper, and art supplies. I like to get stocking stuffers here at Christmas.

Mrs. Logan26

Very nice art store☺ Staff was extremely friendly and helpful☺

Tessa Dower

Best prices I've ever seen for a wide array of professional-grade art supplies AND kid-level crafts. Staff are friendly and the space is fun.

Jared Kinyua (JKing Direct)

I have been a customer at this store since they open with a live studio above them. They are near MICA and have many common art supplies at affordable prices for students and enthusiasts which can be over priced in other craft stores everywhere else around Baltimore.

Therese Montano

I love the selection of arts and crafts supplies which is more specialized than your average chain store, and definitely more personable.

Julia P

Great store, you can find almost anything here. Having such a massive collection is a huge plus, and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
