Pearl Arts and Crafts is huge and caters to art students, entrenched artists and young finger painters. Smaller items such as pens, markers, stamps, stationery and photo albums are on the main floor. Larger and more hardcore items, such as canvases, T-squares, googly eyes, doll heads, soapmaking supplies and fake greenery - as well as kids' stuff - are all downstairs. Pearl aims to sell everything at a discount and usually they do pretty good. A fantastic array of stuff, with staff that more or less knows what it's talking about. Look for signs signaling machines that can scan the mysterious item in your hand and give you a price.
