Screw Utrecht & Pearl with your overpriced everything! Bubba and I prefer this new place. Artist & Craftsman Supply located in Brooklyn, a block away from the Graham Ave. stop on the L Train. I do believe this is one of the best Art Supply stores in NY. As soon as we walked in it felt like home. It’s a cute store with a great selection.
From the outside of the store you wouldn’t think it can hold much, but do not let looks deceive you. Upon entering you are immersed in a wide variety and selection of paints and they also carry many brands. Look out for the sales they have on some paints, they can range from 20-40% off. They are well stocked on textures, matte medium, and any other type of enhancers for paint.
I was glad to see they had a great selection/ variety of brushes. They were also stocked very well. I’ve been to many supply stores where there are brushes missing and do not get re-filled for months! No worries about that here.
What really impressed me was the Canvas selections. They have a whole room dedicated to it. This is the first store that I have been to that had wood & linen canvases. Great selection of sizes and shapes. Some of them were a little pricey but worth the quality.
As far as craft supplies, they got it all. Glue guns, earring backs, feathers, felt, pipe cleaners. This place just keeps uping its coolness points.
- Brushes Galore
A magical room.
And did I mention this place has a second floor as well? The top area is reserved for rolls of paper, sketchbooks, drawing pads, and screen printing supplies.
What to choose... Hmmm.
ACS blew my mind. Great location, decent prices, and a very friendly staff. Definitely worth a trip to Brooklyn. We’ll be back 4 sho.
