Blick Art Materials reviews
20Excellent place the pictures don't do it justice it is huge. Staff were very very helpful. The person at the register tied the whole experience together. They were amazely polite and helpful. I would recommend for just Staff alone but great selection also.
I was a kid in a candy store at Blick (Iol, the check out counter even looks like a candy shop) But most importantly, they had a lot of very kind and very knowledgeable staff! If one person didn't have an answer to your question they found the person who would! I highly recommend them on price point as well.
Great prices from what I have seen online. Also professional grade materials. Their "store brands" are really good for what I have tried so far.
I had an excellent experience at the Blick store. I came in with a specific project in mind but no deep knowledge of the tools and supplies I needed. One of the associates, who primarily does cartooning, helped educate me on the types of water color paint, paintbrush selection, and even an idea for the execution of my project. I am posting the result in the review! So pleased with the kindness of the associate and the end result of my project.
Amazing! The first few steps I took going down the stairs. I knew, I was gonna be spending some $$.
I loved how there were so many varieties of supplies.mostly the pens!
Looking materials for my crafts I found this wonderful place. Variety, good prices. I enjoyed every aisle. My creativity awoke, I wanted to buy everything I saw. Wonderful experience. The staff was helpful and very polite. The atmosphere full of tranquility was the icing on the visit.
Buscando materiales para mis manualidades encontré este maravilloso lugar. Variedad, buenos precios. Yo disfruté cada pasillo. Mi creatividad despertó, deseaba comprar todo lo que veía. Maravillosa experiencia. El personal fue servicial y muy educado. El ambiente lleno de tranquilidad fue la guinda de la visita.
Worst customer service I have ever received. The company sends fake promotional codes in their newsletters. When you go to the store, they tell you that the code (sent that very same day from Blick art materials!) expired days before. Customer service refuses to do anything about it. You will get a much better, honest service and much better prices from Jackson's art supplies or Cheap Joe's.
Prices of some watercolor items are double the price at Blick Art Materials compared to the same items bought in other stores.
This was my first time in the store but I was surprised with the size & apparent inventory! I went in looking for something that I ended up not being able to find (my fault for not checking online first!), but I spent a good chunk of time just browsing. The employee I spoke with was helpful & polite, the store was clean, and I was able to find parking on the same block.
The staff here are absolutely wonderful people, I always leave very happy. They have everything you could possibly ever need, organized and clean, and a nice calming atmosphere to shop in which is a huge deal for people like me who have severe anxiety in public.
This place has all the things you need, the staff is also very friendly!

Wish there were more kinds of yarn. For example, they don’t have dk yarn or lightweight yarn. And I rarely find the color I’m looking for. And I wish there were more sizes for crochet hook and knitting needle.
There is a great selection of drawing pads, canvases and paints, but not much for most other physical art media. There is only a single rack dedicated to yarn, for instance.
This location has two entrances, both with interesting signs. You can enter through the Lucky Strike door and take the stairs to the right, or through the doors under the beautiful Blick sign.
Inside are sprawling lanes of craft materials and staff who are attentive and a willingness to help. We were there to get materials for our Spotted Lanternfly costumes we were going to wear to Billy Penn trivia. The costumes were a hit and Blick is a big part of that. Will be coming here for any and all projects.
Took BFA Diploma to BlickPhillyFraming and got quote with an appointment for framing. Return appointment: quote was honored. I purchased hard to find archival quality pens with professional series 4’x6’ 93lb paper, spiral mixed media sketch book. Great experience overall. I recommend this location for your framing and art material needs.
The store is incredible in terms of space and choice, but the store assistants are so unfriendly…it takes away the pleasure of going there
This place is awesome. The employees that work here are great and they put that extra mile in to make sure you are being help and have everything you need. Will be back again
Blick has a great selection of pens, markers, and arts & crafts. They do not have a good variety of mechanical pencils, though. They have never heard of 0.2 mm lead, and they did not have in stock the 0.5 mm lead in 3B or 4B I needed. Sadly, I will hesitate visiting their store in the future, as I wasted about an hour searching for things on my own and with store assistance. Well, from now on I’ll gladly go to JetPens.com to purchase the pencils I need.
I could spend hours and an entire bank account in this store. I go mostly for the alcohol inks, which they have a pretty decent selection of.
Very helpful staff in the store. Nothing more exciting than all the rainbow colored shelves in an arts and craft store.
The store is so clean and well laid out and they have all of the best supplies that an artist or a drafts person could ever need. Also, the staff are generally artists themselves so they know their products. I only wish you could order "online only" things and pick up in store instead of having to pay shipping online
Love this place, worked here for a few years, now that it's been a few years since I've worked there, I still love coming back, the blick team knows how to show a nice time!
