There are a lot of arts & crafts items, paints, brushes, etc. Prices are decent and can range depending on the product. There was a line at the cashier but moved quickly. Recommended for crafts projects. Good selection.

Might as well order online and save yourself the hassle of carrying anything. Minus 2 stars because the logic ain't logicalling.

Winsor &Newton....or what ever they go by…read more I received many packages in my days but never have I received items this badly damaged...due to POOR packaging. These guys make eBay shippers look absolutely professional. I purchased 12 tubes of Winton oil paints and as soon as I opened the box, one of the tubes had a puncture (between shipping and delivery) and smeared the oil paint all over the other tubes and even on to the invoice. Other tubes looked mangled and on the brink of bursting themselves. They looked like it was handled by over caffeinated monkeys handled the tubes...it's that bad. Side issue: I tried to register as a new customer on their website and it does not allow you to go to the final step to complete the registration. I sent an email for further advise and 4 days later....silence! This is unacceptable on any level. They don't even list their phone numbers on their website. This is also troubling since their return instruction says to "Log Into Account." Well, how am I going to do that if I cannot register to begin with...utter garbage.

She continued to help me finish without any pressure at all to leave. if you would like to be able to create your very own "custom" work of art, this is the place for you. Its BYOB, so bring a couple friends and a lovely bottle of wine, let loose and have fun! I highly recommend this studio! P.S The place was a bit difficult to find as it is located behind a firehouse at this address.

I headed to their Summit location in search of the Five Minute Journal and I was so happy to find it there. They had a few sales going on so I picked up some stamps and a card for my honey. I think I spent an hour looking at all the beautiful items. My favorites were the Valentine's display, stamps, sticky notes, and kate spade supplies. They offer workshops for wedding, holiday, and paper crafting. Over the summer, I'll have to sign up for a class and get crafty. The ladies who worked here made me feel at ease and are very helpful. If you're new to paper crafting or need some inspiration, definitely take a trip to Paper Source.

I have been to other hobby lobby locations .. first time to this one . Everytime I go to hobby lobby , I see some really good stuff on sale . Today we saw some good deals on home decor and canvas paints. Picked up few home decors . This is similar to home goods but better in some products . I was looking for some products - shadow boxes etc and I was going around . Wish there were clear markers or boards showing the product names (arts and crafts etc) like they have in other shops like Costco . There were also very less persons around to help. We found it atlast .. good products though. Lots of parking outside . Fantastic location. Right on rt 1 .. close to Menlo Park mall etc. good experience overall..
