Artist & Craftsman Supply Chestnut Hill

My husband & I love to window shop, especially arts & craft stores. We also enjoy supporting unique small businesses instead of huge corporations if we can help it. So when he surprised me with a road trip here, I was thrilled when I walked in the door.

Many reviews focused on the painting/canvas supplies, so they didn’t really touch on the variety of products available, but this place had it all: handmade textiles, sculpting materials, stationary, wax & unique metal seals, knitting/yarn, specialty paper, washi tape, stamps, & even educational projects, like bug catchers, stickers, card games & puzzles.

Sections were organized & labeled well so we were informed & could take our time perusing through the whole store. It was a lovely experience.

The store is also proudly dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your pup with you! 🐶

We live a little over an hour away, but we WILL be back!

This is such an awesome art store! The prices are so much cheaper then the usual price! There are some really cool finds here as well, I got a pen that was really nice and my friend got some really cool stuff too! I really enjoyed going here as there were so many things that were cool!

This place is fully stocked with all your art supply needs. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful– though the store is well-organized, so finding what you want is usually easy.

The staff were really helpful in our visit today. They were happy to help me find what I was looking for, they had a very good sense of what was in the store, and created a positive atmosphere for shopping.

Love to get lost in here. Great stuff for kids too. Always friendly + helpful staff. So glad to have an art store out here!

I love this store! They have an incredible selection of art supplies and everyone that works there is friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside is that I want to buy everything in the store.

Loved this store! Outstanding staff, very kind, knowledgeable, friendly. Deep inventory of materials as well as just fun items. A must visit store!

Very sweet staff who did everything they could to help us find the tool we needed (speedy stitcher) we ended up ordering from their website. Wished the store would’ve ordered it to their location for us so we didn’t have to pay the $12 shipping - kind of a bummer.

Wonderful selection of all things artistic. Nice people who are very helpful. A true jewel of a store.

One of the best art store experiences I've had. Staff are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They use the products they sell, and are able to make good recommendations. Some months ago, they helped me pick out supplies to get started with watercolor. This weekend, I went back and enjoyed their good selection of papers. The store is bigger than it looks from the outside, and has a well-rounded selection of painting and drawing materials, including options at both entry level and professional grade price points. They also have some pictures frames, and assorted craft supplies.

Amazing place for art supplies I couldn't believe just how much stuff they have

Great store for all your art supplies, for hobby or professional artists. I am very particular about my paint and brushes, but never have an issue here. They have it all and great people too.

A great place for supplies for everyone: professional artists, children and everyone in between. Staff is very knowledgeable and supportive.

Employee owned, full of great art supplies, and an amazing curated selection of toys. We always come home with so many treasures. They also have a 10% student discount for any student!

This was the best hidden little treasure ever, the store sets in a little off the main street. You could be in here for hours, they have everything and prices were awesome. Staff is so helpful and friendly and they don't overcrowd you, overall I would give it 10 stars if I could. I will def be returning.

I found this place a few years ago and I'm so happy. Not only do they have every single thing I've ever wanted (and with good prices), but the staff are some of the loveliest human beings to ever help a customer! Every person that works there is not only filled with valuable information, but they are all so incredibly nice. Every time I walk out of there I have a smile on my face. Highly recommended.

Staff was pleasant and walked me to find requested items rather than the now dismissive standard of "its in aisle 4".

First time stopping in today, looking for craft stuff for a imaginative 5 year old. Had everything and more we were looking for, prices were great and staff was super friendly and helpful, only walked though a small section of the store and cant wait to go back and check the rest out!

Great selection of professional and student level art materials. Friendly and helpful staff. Love this store!

While Michael’s or AC Moore are great, this is a jewel harkening to the art supply stores I visited frequently for school projects in my younger days. Super friendly service and an assortment of quality from amateur to young artist to those who have made art their passion. This place gets lost in its lack of street frontage. Highly recommend.
