Some of them even have certain items that other stores don't so it pays to look/browse even online.<BR/><BR/>The only two brick & mortar stores even half-way close by are Hobby Lobby and Michaels but each are about 30 miles from us but in opposite directions! Neither carries much in the way of artist's quality supplies so it's just easier to mail-order supplies. Plus, taking your time with the inevitable catalogs that you receive in the mail is almost as much fun as shopping in a store!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224954501156534934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-88628260566538268892008-03-11T23:33:00.000-02:302008-03-11T23:33:00.000-02:30I have a list of art shops I want to go to in New ...I have a list of art shops I want to go to in New York - I think Robyn and I should have a day trip! ;)<BR/><BR/>San Clemente Art Supply store - in San Clemente is ace!

I have a favourite art shops in both Florence (Zecchi) and Rome (Ditta G. Poggi) and while they have an excellent range of traditional materials they are never up with the latest fad. Of course it is the fads I'm usually after ;) <BR/><BR/>I also use a little art shop in Arezzo which has a nice atmosphere and extremely high prices. <BR/><BR/>I have shopped on line but postage to Italy is usually huge and the parcel can take a couple of months to arrive. :( <BR/><BR/>Like you, my joy is sniffing around a shop and discovering all sorts of treasures.<BR/><BR/>Very much enjoying your charcoal drawings on coloured paper.Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-30513085706520258072008-03-10T08:44:00.000-02:302008-03-10T08:44:00.000-02:30I use Dick Blick when I shop online and Asel Art S...I use Dick Blick when I shop online and Asel Art Supplies when I shop locally in Dallas. I prefer shopping online, though. Recently Dick Blick was out of Rising Museum Board so I purchased precut board from Talas, a store in New York city. They gave good service but shipping was pretty expensive. Here is the Talas link: http://apps.webcreate.com/ecom/catalog/product_specific.cfm?ClientID=15&ProductID=24574Laurel Neustadterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054010128577492453noreply@blogger.com
