I know absolutely nothing about art supplies, but I wanted to find a gift to support my wife's new watercolor interest. I did a little research about paper before entering the store, but I was hardly confident about making a selection. The help I received was incredibly nice. Felt like I was valued as a customer. Was a little intimidated, entering what for me is completely foreign turf, but the customer service was excellent. I felt welcomed. read more

I love having an art shop in Athens. They have a great selection at fair prices and are always helpful. I've taken a calligraphy class here as well which was so fun. I love that they have a pretty robust class calendar for adults. I will continue to shop here whenever possible and I've even asked if they could order items for me that aren't in stock and they've said yes! read more

this place. is unbelievable in personal service to customers, inventory selection is enormous and the highest quality for product selection. The price value (service+product) was much better than Michael's or Hobby Lobby. K.A Artist shop solved my challenge, gave me a professionally deliverable product that I can present to my customer. I'll give them my : BEST SMALL BUSINESS AWARD IN ATHENS. read more

Love this shop! My friends and I were strolling through Athens and stumbled upon this little shop. Everything was minimalist and adorable, from the interior decor to the labels for the supplies. Kristen was really helpful too, and introduced me to calligraphy and what pens and pen tips to buy. I've always wanted to get further into design, and I'd like to thank her too. They have a lot there, from a variety of inks to a rent-able photo room with lights and all! She also has a variety of art and calligraphy lessons there, which I really want to try. I'll always visit here whenever I'm in Athens, really love the atmosphere and environment! read more

Hands down one of the most adorable shops in Athens, GA! Kristen just helped my fiance and I design our wedding save the dates and she did a FABULOUS job. She listened to our ideas and came up with a unique design for our wedding that's cuter and sweeter than we could have imagined. We will definitely be using her for our invitations too! Also, if you're like me and wish you were a more organized person, go here for serious inspiration! It is so clean and pretty at the shop, I want to move in :) THANKS KRISTEN! read more

Wonderful shop! My friend and I went in while I was in town to make some cards and Kristen was very helpful and gave us all these different shaped stamps and colored papers to work with to make fun cards! She also offers printing on wooden blocks that I thought would be perfect to get each pets picture on to put on my desk at work as opposed to just regular frames. She beautifully wrote their names in the top of the blocks too which added that little something extra. I love them and have gotten compliments on them from co workers! Would definitely recommend to locals or visitors to stop by and see what classes she is offering and what crafts and crafting tools she may have in stock! read more

The workers were rude, they talked down on us, and simply looked down at their computers while we were talking to them about our art. This store has such a nice selection but we won't be returning. read more

There are several unique and fabulous shops on N Jackson Street and the Kristen Ashley Artist Shop is one you must visit. Along with offering classes on many different crafts and art projects, they have a studio to photography your art professionally. Drop by to grab a Sharpie, some hand-made note cards, or build a one-of-a-kind blank journal; they'll bind it for you. I love this spot and you will too. read more
