They have everything from jewelry to scarves, kitchen accessories, and beautiful cutting boards. Service was stellar. I had a nice lady working today, who checked the price on a teacher sign, I fell in love with. There were cute dog potholders and some Maryland kitchen items with cute little crabs and the Maryland emblem. Prices were pretty reasonable considering these were specialty items that were handcrafted. I am still thinking about my teacher sign. But, I will definitely go back to select one of a kind gifts for those I love.

Great selection of Vera Bradley, Scout, and Spartina bags, Maryland-themed items, housewares, and unique jewelry at lots of price points. Friendly staff are always available to give suggestions, and hands down the best thing ever - free gift wrap when you purchase full price items! (Sale items can also be wrapped for a nominal fee.) It's a store that contains all the cutest items that you don't need, but that you definitely want to take home. Whenever I get a gift that's wrapped by Artisans, I know there's something fun inside!

There is also a section of gifts created by artists that reside in Maryland. I fell in love with the beach candle. It really smells like the beach. There is a children's section with both toys and clothes. They had some really cute toys. And, there was a section devoted to people who love pasta. They also had jewelry and clothing for women too. I was warmly greeted when I walked in the door. I really liked their selection of gifts. So, much so that I joined their mailing list. Prices are a bit higher, but you are paying for the unique items and the one of a kind gifts. Thanks Amy for sharing your thoughts on gifts and the selection. It was a pleasure meeting you. I will definitely be back to see you soon.

From outside, you see a bunch of unpainted (and painted) ceramics in the windows. Once you step in, there are some tables scattered around to paint at straight ahead, and there's a chart on the wall to the left that shows how different colors look with 1 coating vs. 3 coatings. It's all very cool! So with Mother's Day coming up, I decided to get some crafts done for mine, and they should be ready just in time for the holiday! Senora Roxana was willing to answer any questions we had, and was willing to give recommendations where needed. All in all, it's a super fun place to be, and great for parties, for kids and adults alike! They're relatively new, so I hope they flourish! I need to return and get some stuff done for my house!

The management of this store is more interested in dogmatic adherence to store policy rather than…read morethe resolution of reasonable complaints about products. I paid $96 for three packs of woodless colored pencils for their rich colors and their claim that they last longer than wood pencils. The product's claim although not stating specifically, suggests they are a more durable product than wood colored pencils. This helped to justify their cost. When my students started using them they were easily breaking compromising their long lasting claim and making them cost prohibitive. When I took them back the management said they will not issue a return because they were used. The questiion of how can they break if they aren't used was met with a reiteration of the store policy - we don't take back used items. I noted to the manager that the claim on the back of the package states that they last longer than wooden pencil. He looked at me with a straight face and stated that doesn't mean they don't break easily. And if I had asked him before buying them he would have told me that they break easily. I wondered how I was to ask a question about a problem that I didn't know existed? The customer service was so irrational and combative response that I wasn't able to believe that all the Plaza (now Blick) stores adhered to it. So I went to another Plaza store and indeed I was met with a much more understanding, reasonable and statisfactory response. The manager in this store understood the problem, agreed with it and issued me store credit. Vola! Problem solved and sanity restored Plaza, and I understand now Blick, have a strick return policy. I understand this. However, when the policy becomes dogma and reason is defied it is no fun to shop at this particular Plaza/Blick Art Supply store. I do not recommend it and will be going elsewhere for my art supplies.
