The staff seem to all be experienced craftspeople and are so helpful because they share their knowledge and experience. I will say, it would be awesome of they stocked weaving supplies since that doesn't seem to be a thing in Pittsburgh.

This is quite the interesting shop. It is a mixture of boutique and consignment shop rolled into…read moreone. Think of it as a specialty craft shop. A lot of what you will find in here are items that have been reclaimed or repurposed. Gives it a little bit of a crafty twist and somewhat personalized. If you want to look at it in a different light, think of this as an Etsy account brought to life. It is a great place to find a thoughtful gift for someone. To top it all off, they have vintage furniture pieces throughout the space that look like display pieces, but in reality they are up for purchase as well. Some of the furniture pieces are quite interesting and I have never seen them personally. Wedding gifts, bridal shower gifts, holiday gifts (no matter the holiday), furniture, and the list could go on. Don't worry guys, there is even things in here for you as well. They actually have a section of the space blocked off and labelled as the 'Man Cave.' Even if you do not purchase anything you can at least get yourself an idea of how to repurpose something you have or how to create something new. Hours are short, but totally doable. You are able to hit up this space rather quickly. There is an entrance from the parking lot and there is an entrance for the WOW Outlet next door as well.

Unlike other stores who offer art supplies and a…read moreart dept. but have a minimal focus on that dept. and employ's staff who have a little to no knowledge when it comes to finding what you're looking for  when pertaining to your project. The Staff here at Blicks arts is friendly knowledgeable & insightful. I came across a good chunk of items weather in brand name or items themselves that are not stocked at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.   I've known friends in the past who shopped known places before discovering this art store. Once they shopped here they swore up and down that this is their first stop for painting their personal Picasso or that picture they hang in coffee shops & others places they'd love to sell.    After looking around here with my sis and spending a little time here. I would recommend any artists starting out, noivce or professional to shop here for their project needs. To quote Bob Ross Paint that happy little tree or build that happy little cloud this is your world you are the creator find freedom on this canvas.    Be sure to like them on FB & tell a friend https://www.facebook.com/BlickStorePittsburgh2348/

The owners were extremely helpful in finding exactly what I wanted. For example, when asked, one owner explained which brands, from high to low prices, offered what quality of materials. Meanwhile, the other owner was carefully refurbishing, by hand, an ornate frame in the front of the shop. Both were super polite and friendly. So much better than the mega craft stores! Totally worth the trip*. Plan for lunch! there are lots of cafes, and restaurants in town! ** Aside: the store hours, at this moment, are not correct. They are open normal business hours.
