I love coming into Artist & Craftsman just to browse. They have pretty much every art supply I can think of. They have a lot of paints, silkscreening materials, pencils, charcoal, canvas, paper, etc. They also have a bunch of art stuff for kids, so everyone wins. Prices are decent and I don't know of any store around that has a comparable selection of arts and crafts materials. The employees have always been courteous to me, even though more often than not I can only afford to browse.
