After taking two beginning mosaic classes at Newark Arts Alliance, I ordered a Roman mosaics kit…read morefrom an Italian Esty Business, Intessere. This was a challenge for me of average artistry. I enjoyed the project and learned about the process. Though, I should have started with an easier kit. Finley's Art Shoppe was really helpful in figuring out a nice frame and mounting. When I created this mosaic, I had to hide the uneven mosaic boarder, and they did a great job centering it. After I get done my second, simpler kit from Intessere, I will have them frame it!

The first Artist & Craftsman Supply that I stepped in was in Cambridge, Ma. It was like a bohemian…read moreartists fantasy land. First floor is a cornocopia of delights and then there is the basement with color splayed all over in random style. Floors painted. Well at least how I remember it. So I hunted for art supplies in Philly on a whim, and there was a sibling! And wandering around on Yelp, I've found yet another! This A&C S is the smallest of the three that I have been so lucky to visit. There is something to be said for a downstairs space to rummage and roam for treasure. While this one is one floor, it is still a worthy member of the clan. I tried to go for just one or two items, but ended up with a slew of pens and pencils. My only regret was the fact that my carry on was the limit, not the items in the store. The staff were a great balance of attentive and laissez-faire. I like being able to enjoy looking at things and touching things without feeling weird or feeling as though sales folks are going to vulture me. I felt welcomed and a part of the store, but not smothered. Also the staff was friendly with each other but did not ignore a single customer in their reach. I liked that balance.

She made it clear to everyone that purchased that she was the owner and how much she donates to causes. While I was being rung up (by a wonderful staff member) and other patron was donating art and filling out paperwork. One of the employees assisted and because the paperwork was messed up the owner said loudly and with a tone "there are too many hands in the pot". The employee and artist looked flabbergasted and I was shocked at the way the owner handles herself. Although the store has alot of supplies not found in craft stores, what I went for the employee stated they were out of stock of 5 items for watercolor. The staff was extremely nice, but because of the owners personality I will not be returning.

[1112] 11/24/2020…read more This Joann fabrics is located in a strip mall. I never realized this location was here but I'm glad I found it. This place is heaven for those that love sewing. There are SO many choices to choose from. The only thing I did NOT like was the cutter at the sewing area would NOT cut my fabric in two 1 yard pieces. She literally told me it was store policy and I can cut at home. It's bull... The other Joann does it and I do this so I can send my mom fabric. Annoying. I'll be back but mostly for the fabric choices.

I've shopped this store (this location among other Joann stores) for decades, for crafts and…read moresewing. This Gateway store is consistently hit or miss with employee attitude. On a good day people will actually be helpful. The cutting counter folk will not ignore you, they will get back-up to man the line, they will look out for your coupon options, and make sure you have all you need, and all questions answered. I'm pretty sure this is how old lady Joann would've wanted things to run. (This is how most other stores try to operate every day.) On a bad day, you get the rudest, laziest attitude ever, and none of those appropriate workplace functions actually happen, and the brutish attitude is that you're lucky to get half-azzed help at all. Tonight I was "helped" by Ruth Ann, who was not willing to perform as I believe Ms. Joann herself would've wished. I called ahead because I'm scrambling to finish a dozen projects for a charity auction. I have a toddler and really no time to waste running around to stores (who does?). I spoke with Ruth Ann, who from the start made it clear that me (a customer) calling to ask her questions was just completely unreasonable. Despite her attempt at shirking her JOB DUTIES I pressed on asking if the RIT black liquid dye was on sale in store or not? Simple question. Just walk over and check, or walkie-talkie your floor associate and get them to check. That's it! My response? "Well RIT never goes on sale" (uhhh yes it does lady), and so I asked my question again. She said it was not on sale (didn't check). I then confirmed I would be able to use my 40% coupon on this because it was "not on sale"? She said there was currently no 40% off coupon. Again completely incorrect. I then asked my second question a second time. She finally answered with a snarky disclaimer that "only one item" can be used with coupon. Hmm yes, I was asking about my ONE item. (Btw, this item was cheaper at Target unless I could use the 40% at Joann, thus the point of the call.) Guess what? At the store with toddler, the RIT spot where black goes is empty. Despite online inventory saying there were SIX of my item in stock, there were NONE on the shelf in their designated spot. When asked for help, Ruth Ann tried to claim there just weren't any and resisted checking at every turn. Finally, she climbed a ladder and got more down from the top shelf (which customers aren't supposed to access themselves). THEN, there is a sign stating it is ON SALE, and of course the sale doesn't compare to the coupon discount. I could have ordered it online for store pick up to get that same coupon price with online promo but stupidly trusted that Ruth Ann wasn't lying to me. Well, there's Ruth Ann at the register, and she has the nerve to try to not honor my coupon, which ten minutes ago she said she absolutely would honor on ONE item! It took a painful and COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY argument to then get a manager involved in order to purchase this ONE ITEM as promised over the phone before driving all the way down there. This obnoxious employee, Ruth Ann, was WHISPERING in her manager's ear like a sixth grader, like this problem customer dare ask her to make good on her own word after she was too lazy to give correct information and lied over the phone. Absolutely MISERABLE experience! No apology for the negligence or rudeness. Always a pleasure to deal with this store when I'm devoting my time and money to help a CHARITY.
