Best Craft Store Saint Louis Near Me

Katherine Caldwell: Had almost everything you could want for drawing, coloring, and painting

Lucy Lu: This whole online price matching scheme is mind baffling. I'm a preferred member, but I always have to put up a fight when I check out. One time I bought a bunch of Luminance pencils and sketchbooks. The pencils are ~$3.50 online, and ~$5.50 in store. I asked for online price matching, which the cashier did. But the matching wasn't done for the sketchbook (mind you that they take pride on their system being "correct" so no adjustments are required). The sketchbooks turned out to be 40% more expensive than what they have online. I reminded the cashier and she was like "oh yeah I'll do price match for this item as well". This makes me very uncomfortable - they only price match when questions were raised, and customers who don't know their policy very well can easily get charged an insane price for products they buy.Also no matter how much stuff you buy in store, even with web match they ALWAYS charge you for shipping (I know, it doesn't make any sense). However, if you order stuff online, shipping is usually free when you buy more than $69.I love supporting local businesses and brick and mortar stores, but if this is the trick they pull on customers to keep the stores alive, I'll go to Amazon instead.

Gene Miller: Great options for various supplies and the staff are friendly.

Curt Balding: Store associate Eleana(?) Was polite and very helpful with a picture frame project I have planned

Fatema Khwaja: Went here on Saturday for my framing appointment, it was my first time coming to Blick. I went to the framing department of the store. I waited patiently for my turn. The guy that was working there was named Tim, he was finishing up with another client and then looked at me and said "Emily?" I was like "No, I'm Fatema." he said "Do you have an appointment?" I said "Yes I do, I made the appointment with your manager Tom", he continued to say that he does not see me in the book at all. but asked how he could help, I told him I wanted a glass frame and he said that those were an online only type of deal. He didn't even give me a minute to explain myself until I cut him off. Since the glass frame was online only, I asked him about printing a photo for me . "You need to set up an appointment for that" he said. Like I already didn't??I thought. I thanked him and left. I walked up to the cashier to see if they could order the frame online for me and I also asked them to see if Tom was in (the manger) so I could see if he booked me or not. They said that he wasn't in that day so they offered to help me. They checked there computers and saw that I actually did have an appointment and it was by the name "Satema" rather than Fatema. They told me it was misspelled which is understandable. The guy I had talked to was very nice and patient with me. he told me to walk back and talk to Tim again and tell him that I have an appointment. When I got back to the framing department I saw that he was with another customer. I waited patiently for ten minutes. Once he was done with the other customer he didn't even acknowledge me or even look my way to help me. he was just standing there. then the guy from the cashier's desk came and talked to him and told him I had an appointment. Tim didn't apologize about the misunderstanding/ communication, but proceeded to say "what do you want help with?". I told him how I wanted to print out the photo again. he told me to send it to him. As I did that, he immediately told me that pictures would not look good because its not a raw file, even though I sent him the raw file from the photographer's email. And the he went on about how photos are suppose to be and the resolution blah blah blah, Its like he was trying to talk me out of it so he wouldn't give the time to help me out. When I watched him help out the other two customers before me he seemed very energetic and in a good mood but when it came to me he treated me as if I was a child that didn't know anything. Horrible experience. Won't come back. And unfortunately Tim is the only framing guy there.

Tonya Deloach: I came to St. Louis for a mini vacation. I had an order to fulfill and ship out. I didn’t have all the supplies I need and I googled vinyl shops and chose this one. I’m so glad I did. Customer service, appearance, and atmosphere were absolutely inviting. The prices were great and the variety is a plus, from HTV to sublimation. I will definitely make this my go to place for my crafting needs. Thanks staff! You guys are awesome.

Delbret Taylor: Great creative products.

Charlita Adkins: Nice to find a local place where I can buy vinyl and other sublimation items. They were very welcoming!

Cierra Rowell: I love this store. They have awesome customer service. They give advice about the sublimation process. I had a question about the tumbler process using a conventional oven. The advice that was given changed everything and prevented burned tumblers. Thank You

Lucas Montaigne: We just recently got a vinyl cutter and have been wanting to get heat transfer vinyl to make shirts and stuff, but wanted to see the colors and options in person. Found Just Vinyl and Crafts on google and went on labor day. We had an amazing experience, and thr owner was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and all around a fun person. We will definately be back soon with the way my wife is flying through the vinyl we bought!

Garneau Weld: I love this place and the quality of service which is unparalleled from LA to New York. It has been around almost forever. I believe I do remember when it was founded and it was kind of the new kid on the block. True to its creed, Art Mart is an art mart serving all levels and disciplines of artistic creation. We shall see what happens during the transfer, but in the meantime, I bought a whole bunch of art supplies as a reintroduction to the world of creative expression. You should too! G.

Andy Holman: Great customer service!

Leyla Rose Bland: Too many awesome things in here. I could spend all my money 😂I love this place!!

Robert Anderson: If artwork is your thing than you know art mart is the place to go. However, it is the customer service that makes the difference. The girls have always gone the extra mile to assist and they offer a student discount that saves my daughter hundreds this year alone!

Farah Habli: I love this place, it has all what an artist needs.

origami (Origamigirl11): I love artmart. My only critique is that they are a bit limited on the mixed medias side. But if you need any kind of paper or paint they have you covered.

Alan Barasch: Looking for that crazy pen or paint? Artmart probably has it and the staff knows where it's hidden.

SuperFlawless9: This place has extremely helpful staff and an amazing amount of supplies for all kinds of artist! Will support this local business again sometime!

Suzi Eberly: The sales associate who helped frame our painting was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Marie P-R Koehlinger: I currently live in a far western state and have missed this awesome store! The people are attentive, friendly AND KNOWLEDGEABLE!!!! It was fabulous to be back in this store again! It is on my to-do list to visit Artmart to stock up, any time I'm in StL.

C. Jay Conrod: Not the cheapest art supply store in town, but an excellent selection of supplies.

Amy McCauley: Has SO MUCH! I love it.

Plus they always have coupons online so it definitely makes up for the price difference!Staff are always kind and friendly, never had an issue with them.

Leone Shurn (Designs by Leone): Love this store, always friendly and polite.

Mary Hettenhausen: Counter help wasn't very helpful.. vei poor selection of stock for crochet materials.

Ruth Pope: 1 sales clerk was very rude!!!!I don't usually say that because I know some people are overworked so I try to give them a benefit of doubt. But she was very, very rude.

Margarita Welch (Margie): Always seem to take forever with everything they have

Kellye Markowski: Today Joanns has a 20% off coupon for ordering online and picking it up in the store. I used that while in the store, selected the item off the shelf, paid for it online and now I am forced to WAIT. Wait for their system to show I made a purchase. I am told it might be up to an hour until their system reflects the purchase. They can’t look at my receipt showing I made the purchase and apparently their system is snails pace slow. What a HUGE inconvenience to their customers! I’ve done all the work for them but I’m made to WAIT with the product in my cart for their system to work. I wasn’t the only one in the store standing around waiting either! JoAnns should either speed up the electronic process or give everyone 20%!

Tina James: Love the quality of the material and the prices and choices!

Barbara Trice: Jo-Ann's is a wonderful place to buy fabrics and crafts, but it always takes you too long to get out of the store because they do not have enough check out personnel. It is always a 20 to 30-minute line, no matter what time of the day it is. If you are on lunch hour you cannot take that amount of time to stand in line. Maybe they need a self checkout line for small items.

patricia lipe: Didn't shop here but a good place to visit for clothing and sewing notions material and projects

Alessandra Abate: They have everything I need

Becky Falls: Got 80% off Christmas items so I got a blow up gnome ×3 and that 40% off regular priced item for my fabric

Darlene Dilbeck: The yarn and crochet hook section was nearly gone! It's the first time I've seen the cupboard so bare! I guess the sale worked!

Karen St. John: It was good I just thought there sticker selection was bad and the stickers they did have were overpriced

Mike Johnson: Wow. Whole time I talked with a clerk felt as if they wanted me to go. Most unwelcome I’ve ever felt shopping.

Sharon Gordon: Great customer service, big clean store. No clutter.

Milton Kendrick III: Manager John was amazing! I had to rush a large quantity purchase for a work shipment, and he went out of his way to collect the items and provide fanatical customer service!Thanks, John!

Miranda Rosales: Never been to a two story store before so that was kind of cool.

Jean Montgomery: They had the paint I wanted. The guy at self checkout didn't know much. He said he couldn't check to see if other stores had the paint I wanted. I didn't believe him, because associates at other stores have helped me with that.

Calvin Williams: This place is very ideal

Joseph Komadina: Got in! Got out after a long explanation of how "order pick-up" works there.

Tracy White: Wish they had more colors of polyester shirts but love their cotton varieties

Jennifer bell: Awesome

Angela Hulser: Well stocked. Friendly staff

Alllisha Jones: Michaels is a little expensive but for the right reasons

Alyssa Myerscough: DO NOT BUY ONLINE FROM THIS STORE!!! Spent $200 and “they don’t have my order” when I have the order #/emails/texts/Michael’s customer service LIVE ON THE PHONE confirming my order AND THEY WONT GIVE ME MY ITEMS!!! No hesitation to charge my card though. Straight robbery!!
