Tons of amazing deals for making all kinds of Art. To be an Artist is to believe in Life.. "Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing." as Georgia O'Keeffe famously stated. Drawing, painting, carving, photography, moi dreams are made of these. Creativity is my sunshine illuminating my thoughts giving Life to my soul's every breath. Just like Ansel Adams says; "You don't take a photograph, you make it." "Blick" is your E ticket Ride to Creativity. Life, like Art, is what you make it. Highest Recommendations.

For the opened paint, ink, and markers they have a testing area so you don't have to worry about it being dried out if already opened (which most was). Staff was friendly without hovering - they understood it takes time to pick out the pieces for your next project. Highly recommend.

They have a little or a lot of everything at awesome affordable prices. Heading back in tomorrow.read more

Sam Flax is way more than an art supply store and framing shop. They have all kinds of gift items,…read morebooks, premium name brand ink and fountain pens, home decorations and more. I had not been to Sam's since they moved across the street a few years ago. As a customer I went for some colored pencils and the staff was extremely helpful in finding items for a gift. I was walked by a staff member to several areas of the store and items to choose from were placed in my hands while the staff member explained the features and made recommendations. The level of customer service and help is something you don't commonly see in retail stores these days. The store has a tranquil vibe which makes it fun to browse the many gift items. Their stock is unique in that they carry a breadth of items that are high quality at a range of prices. You can spend a lot of time here finding inspiration and treasures. They offer art classes and during the Christmas season they offered free make and take craft classes. They had a small cardboard 'house or cottage' setup inside the store with tables stocked with all the supplies you needed for that weeks's free project. This was not just for kids. My friend and I had fun making gift tags the day we were visiting the store. The store is beautiful inside and out. The beautiful murals that cover the outside walls echo the beauty and fun you will find inside the store. Since they are popular the parking lot can get pretty full.

Back then or even twenty years ago it was no surprise to find an actual scrapbook store throughout many cities. Sadly, now, it is almost impossible to find brick and mortar store. I believe when I moved down to Florida 18 years ago there were 3 stores that I frequented often and now, only Scraporium is left. When I am in the Carrollwood or Lutz area , I always stop in if it's during business hours to see what they have added to the store or if there is anything that I must have. The ladies that work, there are always so nice and polite and willing to help find anything that you may be looking for that.They have as the store is very packful of various goodies. I truly hope they are successful enough to remain open for years to come.

First time at this place! It's small but PACKED full of a variety of fun scrapbooking items! I was…read moretold it also has classes. Some things were a good price and some things were higher than average. But the fact that it's a small and local place made me comfortable paying a premium. There was a woman when we walked in that acknowledged us but we weren't sure if she was a manager or just a customer. When we went to pay, we were second in line and the lady at the cash register (I assume owner) disappeared without saying a word after she helped the people in front of us. Not sure what happened but we waited several minutes before we could check out. No other customers were in the store at the time. I'll be back, though :)

I was so pleasantly surprised when I walked into this "Art and Framing of Sarasota" store. They had…read morea really big selection of art supplies and it was so refreshing to walk in to a real mom and Pop art store, And they've been here for over 30 years! They had a lot of different types of premium paints including oil paint, acrylic paint and watercolor paint, and others. Also many different types of premium and economy paintbrushes many varieties and brands. And the owner came and helped me. She was explaining to me all the different paintbrushes, and I felt so happy that she cared that much to help me find what I was looking for. They also have pan pastels which you don't find in stores very much And a really big selection. Also different types of water colors. They had pigment powders, gold leaf, alcohol inks, markers section, clays . They also had a nice selection of canvases with different sizes. So one of the reasons I came because I heard they gave classes here, which is very exciting, you can definitely tell this is a place where the community comes and talks about art and enjoys other artist company. Because everybody that worked there was so helpful and friendly and very warm and welcoming. I'll definitely come back again when I'm in the area!

The owner Billy impressed me with his knowledge of his product lines and paint products in general. In my occasional dealings with the big box stores when buying paint, there were often questions they couldn't answer. However, at Venice Paints, Billy is very well-informed and would recommend alternative products if there was a better fit for the project as well as colour recommendations. He knows his stuff and his ability to match colours is almost mystical! He does this all with a smile and a friendly chat and his shop pup Scrappy is pretty dang cute too. Highly Recommended!

I was so lucky to discover Reynolds in Orlando! Do you sculpt? Make molds? Pour resin castings, either for fun or profit? If so, Reynolds is THE source for all of your needs! Look no further... They have an amazing selection, superior customer service, and their prices are very reasonable! Even better, they have video tutorials on their website for helping any novice learn and eventually be able to complete projects similar to what are shown in my attached photos. Also, since we are both in FL, their shipped items arrive often in just 1 day, 2 at the most. So if sculpting/molding/casting is of interest to you? Reynolds will come through like a CHAMP!
