I spend at least an hour wandering through this store every month or two. I always find fun craft projects and the prices are decent. Great place for paint, brushes, and canvases.

It's very cool, they have everything, but their prices are 50-100% higher than you can find elsewhere for just about everything.

My go to art supplier, it's very easy to spend more than you planned here as they have a very wide selection. Staff are knowledgeable and more than willing to help out and be a sounding board for projects/new materials. Just recently went to a new medium and they helped point me in a couple different directions, explaining what I could expect with the medium, and different thing I could do with it. Super happy with them I have no problem going back whenever new inspiration hits, or just to pick up some replacement pieces. If your in the Portland area, this is a go to shop to visit for art supplies.

Great store!!! They have pretty much anything you can ask for related to Arts and crafts!!! Stuff for young children to experienced professional artists!!! And everything in between!!! I was stocking up on wax used for sealing 💌 letters!!! The staff were very nice and very helpful. I had lots of questions and they answered them and didn't make me feel like I was being a bother.

Where can a beginner find watercolor lessons?

Artist & Craftsman Supply Portland | Nov 22, 2021

Hi Lorraine! Thank you for asking. From time to time, we do offer in-store demonstrations and workshops and the best way to stay informed on upcoming events is to subscribe to our very occasional email newsletter: http://bit.ly/artist-craftsman-newsletter In terms of classes, you might be able to find a course that fits your needs either though your local adult education or community college. Depending on your location & ability to travel, Artascope Studios in Yarmouth may have what you're looking for. You're also more than welcome to stop by! We can help you with supplies if you're looking to put together a more self-guided approach or perhaps recommend someone to give private lessons. Regardless, best of luck!
