After you “scold” someone for not wearing a mask in your store (and making a comment after the person left the store) you should really be careful that no one from his party was still in the store. I had been in the store ( probably about 10 minutes already with NO mask) about to purchase some handmade paper when I heard your cashiers comment after my husband said he would spend his money elsewhere. Your cashiers comment was (after my husband walked out) “yeah good luck with that” and her coworkers continued to talk disrespectful of my husband for not wearing his mask. Just an FYI....we had NO problem spending our money in several shops downtownTerrible customer service when you treat a customer so rudely when they walk out.

Awesome store. I am not an artist but this place was great. Tons of fun unique stuff to look at. Things Ive definitely never seen anywhere else. Great place to buy gifts for people. And if you are an artist then great because this place has more art supplies than Ive ever seen before.

I love this place. The staff is helpful, energetic and very pleasant. If you are into arts and crafts, this place is one of the best places to browse or buy. The atmosphere is quite unique, conducive to adding to the whole creative process. Staff is helpful; inventory plentiful. This is a unique place that fosters further your creativity. Laid back, impressive stock, helpful and pleasant employees. If you are tired of chain craft stores, youll be glad you decided on this store.

I am trying to pick up a new hobby and this store is stocked to the brim. They had everything I needed and had very knowledgable staff. They also have events going on in store, when I walked in it was making gift wrapping. Very pleasant and fun looking store.

Best art store around! Worth the drive to downtown hands down. They have almost everything you need for any art project, along with super knowledgeable staff. One of the staff members spent almost 10 minutes directing me in the right direction with acrylics for air brushes and pointed me to the thermostat plastics they carry as well.

This place would be where Michelangelo and da vinci would shop. Greatest shop in the city!

Review №34

The shelves are filled from floor to ceiling with everything you could ever need for any craft you could imagine. If only things were a little more organized, but you have to sort of expect a charming sense of clutter to a craft store

Review №44

The people who work here absolutely love what they do and are an invaluable source of knowledge when it comes to all things art -- techniques, people, sources of inspo, material. Unique in both the physical spaces they occupy as well as their offerings. If you are an artist in, or visiting Charleston, consider both locations a must-see.

Review №46

Not sure what more you could want from an art supply store! They have absolutely everything you need and an incredibly kind and knowledgeable staff to help you find it! The only thing I can think to hold against the shop is that parking is an absolute nightmare (especially when College of Charleston is in), but thats not fair.

This place is amazing! They have worked really hard to make sure we were taken care of. They worked with us to be able to have a canvas to deliver and they were so pleasant to work with! I will definitely be making more purchases here.

Underground (literally and figuratively) arts store with a prime and robust selection of drawing utensils, tools, sketch pads, and canvases all cheaper the producer price. The selection also includes board games, nick-nacks and tiny sculptures/containers. The staff is always friendly and eager to help you find the perfect equipment for all your art endeavors. I would highly recommend.

Loved this place! I could wander the aisles for hours if they would let me! Unbelievable selection and variety with a very knowledgeable staff. Rikki (spelling?) Was reason enough to go back to the store! She knew the products that she was talking about, she listened to my (uneducated) input, she knew the business and she was as pleasant as she was helpful. Ill be back soon!

Review №62

We came in visibly clueless shopping for a gift. The employees were very attentive and the one who helped us went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we needed. Very well stocked with a wider range of options than major crafts stores we went to, not to mention cheaper, with a student discount option (that wasnt even CofC exclusive!!). The location and the look of the shop is really cool as well.
