They have an awesome selection of art supplies, they had everything from homemade paper to fountain pens. This is a gem of a store and so welcoming. You can tell that the staff are artists. Prices fit the products well, but they are a bit high. Granted all good art supplies are expensive these days. I would love to work here if it wasn't in St Paul. I love this store and I absolutely recommend.

Unfortunately, it wasn't that great of a time. :( All beads and supplies are behind the counter. It's awkward just standing there waiting for help. When I was finally helped by the woman working.. I realized she was kinda rude. If you are going to have beads behind the counter then you should expect to be helping people! The employees also seemed like they were bickering and it was uncomfortable to just stand there. It's not worth visiting in person.. I think just stick to ordering online if you can.

I usually buy Golden Acrylics (always 40% off), brushes, gouache (80% off now), watercolor paper, pads and color pencils. Also have found usual finds like a protractor that fits on a wood yard stick to make huge circles! Their specialty is screen printing and one of their employees wrote a guide on the subject- although I don't do it- I enjoy seeing the wall of customer's prints along with art from the employees who are artists too. Can't tell you how much I enjoy coming in and talking to the helpful, caring, friendly staff! Living in the neighborhood- I walk in there with my dog- how nice. They are VERY MUCH in business- may look empty in spots as they are remodeling and moving supplies around- have fabulous sales going on. So important to shop independent businesses rather than just online- supports the neighbors/neighborhood. Look for their fabulous vintage sign- especially pretty at night! Thanks Northwest Graphics!

I appreciate the way they offer lots of random trinkets for people to use in crafts, and it's a great way to bring life to things that would've been otherwise thrown out. Especially for people who junk journal, this is the place for you! They literally have anything you could think of, fabric, buttons, paper, newspapers, etc. The place itself is a bit small but still navigational. There's street parking right in front, but also make sure to look up the store's hours beforehand because they're open only on specific days. They also apparently have been around forever and offer classes for kids! I'd recommend anyone give this place a try!

(Everything was cheaper than the dollar store in the same strip mall) The checkout line was like twenty people deep before they opened another register. I was foolish and didn't grab a cart so my arms were literally shaking by the time it was my turn to pay lol. Checkout employee was nice enough and friendly. I could tell they were exhausted from it being so busy. On that note I will also say that I didn't see any employees while I was shopping... so it's a good thing I didn't need any help?
