Blick art had a good selection although they did not carry what I was looking for. Unfortunately they wouldnt let me use their bathroom as I drove over 2 hours just to shop there, but I will squarely place the blame on city and county council persons for that.

This is the place for all the art supplies you need. I’ve been been buying my supplies here for many many years. The service is great and sales people are friendly and knowledgeable. You can always find someone who’ll be able to answer your questions. I’ve never been disappointed. The selection and variety of brands and materials is outstanding. Keep an eye out for lots of good sales.

Staff is always super helpful, they have a wide amount of supplies, and sales are just constantly going on. Definitely a place where I sink my money.I love that they now have updated the website so you can see if your local store has the specific item in stock.

Great customer service, they are all very knowledgeable on the supplies they have and went out of their way to show me example of their products and differences in types of supplies I needed. I had gone In with a plan on what I was getting and they helped me find great deals and alternatives to what I was going for that would give me a better value of art and bang for my buck!

I dont live near a blick store at all and this branch was the closest to me. Ideally I consider personally visiting a blick store as a last resort decision since online has better selection and prices, but I had to purchase paints on a timeline for a project I had to do. The line outside moved quickly and I was amazed at how consumer friendly the store was laid out.Ive been to the LA branch before and that place is hectic and crowded, they dont have a parking lot, and selection is too small, with too many things stuffed in one aisle.Employees are very knowledgeable at the Pasadena branch and prices are appropriate. I didnt see a lot of empty shelves. I just wish that there were more liquitex basics paint colors in stock, I had to mix and match between liquitexs different paint types. Checkout time was fast. I just wish I had more time to look around the store.Parking is free, its right across the street.

This Blick store is the best Blick store!Mariam is the best. She always goes above and beyond. I had to call in a very big order for school art supplies. I emailed Mariam the list and she set off on putting together the materials.Not only that but I sent another list the very next day and Mariam filled that as well!I owe her so many thanks!With Covid-19 I could not go in the store myself, so Mariam was my personal shopper.I trust her so much I even said that if substitutions were necessary, she could make the decision.Incredible customer service - and not only this time; every time Id worked with Mariam shes been awesome!Really cant praise her enough!!THANK YOU MARIAM!!!!

Excellent place for art supplies to feed your creativity while you stay home and away from the virus, and be able to think in all of the projects that we want to do when time was available, well that time is now so lets be creative and have fun rather than feel sad or depressed because what is going on. Go buy yourself somthing that stimulate your creativity and look on line for instructions, must are free.

They sold permanent glue as repositionable. Thanks for the headache, ripped papers and all nighter. Also they never have half of the markers in stock I’m after.

Excellent store to find all the materials for an art project, it is amazing what you can find even if you are not an artist because there are items that people from different fields can use in order to accomplish their projects and research that they are working on

Review №32

The only place in the area that reliably carries canvas for painting. The staff is pretty knowledgeable in all manners of fine art technique and practice. Not so knowledgeable about home crafts or specialty projects (kind of like the difference between artists and craftsmen) Place is popular with the art students because of its locality.

Review №33

Been coming here for over 14 years. The staff is always super helpful and they have great deals, make sure you become a member (free) and they email / mail you discounts and sales. Great selection of every medium. I love the upstairs section because of the variety of sketchbooks.

This is a terrific place for art supplies, but parking sucks. They also have really good discounts and sale items. If driving here is not an option, the catalog has even more products, including frames that ship for free with a reasonable minimum order.

Blick Art is the place to go to get art supplies. This location has individual stretcher bars for stretching your own canvas. They also hold items for you if you call ahead, which was super useful when I found out they had the desk I wanted in store while I was at work!

I am well pleased with my experience at Blick Art Materials on Raymond just North of Green in Old Pasadena.This day, they did not have what I need. However, after gracefully bounding the stairs to the upper level, and searching back stock and bins, Dana assured me that it would be in stock soon, and I could be contacted when it arrived.Outstanding.With a triangle in hand I descended the stairs to the register where the Associate promptly and efficiently, and with a smile, assisted me with my purchase and wished me a good day.Right on. Thank-you.

Best sales and prices, I buy all my art needs and Great Student and teacher deals. Show your current I.D and youll get really nice perks aside online registration for special coupons. Be quick though, do your shopping ahead of college semesters as everything sells out due to back to college sales!

Incredibly welcoming and helpful. Sales reps say welcome when you come in the store, and if you need help, will actually walk you 2 merchandise and help you regarding making the right selection. Also lots of options in the store. Andres helped us in multiple ways... very friendly and knowledgeable.

Properly stocked, staff isnt as knowledgeable as I would have liked about some of the things I needed (Im an engineer,not an artist) but quick to correct the error at the counter. My only real issue is the aparrent lack of handicapped access to the upper floor. I wear a leg brace so stairs are an issue for me on occasion.

This blicks location has almost everything I have ever seen on their website available in store. I often look for the products I want on their website and then pick them up in person here. This is a great and inexpensive place to get acrylic paints from high quality manufacturers, be sure to pay attention for the various sales they have throughout the year.

Great spot for general supplies of all types of art mediums. I needed some plastisol for my silk screen job. Not only did they have it but emulsion as well. Sometimes prices may be more but sometimes they have deals.

I love this store. Everything is always so organized and the staff is very friendly and approachable. They always seem eager to help you out and never rush me. The cashier that helped me even told me if I had found everything I needed if not she could help find something. Then she asked if I was a teacher or student which I respond with student she immediately gave me a discount and explained their free program. I wish stores were more like that. I recommend this store to anyone needing help with art supplies.

Review №57

The store was crowded. It was really nice to see materials in person, but things seemed more expensive (not sure this is true) and parking in Pasadena is atrocious. Many of the materials I love using were not available in store. The sales people were swamped, and I felt a little sorry for them.

Ive come here ever since I was in highschool and one of the staff members constantly treats me rudely. A around 40 year old or more white woman gray hair, wear black rimmed glasses mostly works the cash register and I dont like her at all. Mainly because she is always rude to me and gives me attitude. As for the rest of the staff theyre relatively nice and polite. Blick always has all the art materials I need.

Good supply and selection of drafting paper; none of the box stores carry it so thank goodness for Blick Art Materials!Note: Avoid the traffic on the 210 fwy and parking in DTP; take the Metro lightrail and get off at the Memorial station. From there its a short walk to Blick.

Absolutely the best customer service I ever encountered. The young man who helped me find what I was looking for went above and beyond his responsibilities; sometimes even a store owner doesnt do such an exceptional service. The store is very well stocked; chances are 99.9% youll walk away with your purchase with a smile on your face.

I love blick. If youre an artist or a wanna be artist youre going to love this store, its got everything. The fact that its small adds to the ambience. They usually have some discount stuff right at the front door I can never resist. And they have really great help there, if you read my reviews youll see that service is really important to me.

I am a big fan of Blicks for art supplies and they always have the basics Im in need of and lots of stock. (I really wish there were more independently owned art stores in the area.) This shop always seems pretty busy with affordable prices, nice helpful staff inside the Pasadena Blick. Thanks! #artist

Pretty good store and conveniently close for art students from pcc, although youll have a hard time finding what you need at the beginning of the school year because there are A LOT of people who are looking for the same thing. Going as soon as possible would be best, other than that, the store is pretty nice and has a good selection of art supplies. Having a blick card is also very beneficial and can save you money!
