ART Spot

This place is HEAVEN for artists!!! It took every ounce of me not to spend my entire paycheck on tools and paints and everything in between.
I was on a mission to find sealing wax and calligraphy ink and they had plenty of ink to look at, at such a reasonable price!!! I went home with two choices at $ 3.50 a piece. Happy girl!!!
I’m kicking myself for not getting the guy who worked there’s name, but he was such a huge help!!! Even though they didn’t carry the wax I was looking for, he went the extra mile (without me asking) and searched for the correct name of the wax I was looking for.
It’s so great that they offer classes as well! I would definitely like to attend one.
I will be back when I’m finished making my own canvases to spend, spend SPEND!!!

Just finished shopping at Art Spot– had wonderful guidance and advice on some new products from the owner, Tracy Fraker. It’s inspiring to select art materials in such a creative and fun store which carries some of the most beautiful products in the industry! Kate Steiger

A fabulous array of supplies with friendly, knowledgable staff. They have classes for all ages and a wonderful variety of gifts for sale. A wonderful place for artists of all skill levels and those looking for unusual, artsy gifts.

I liked this place. Lots of reasonable art supplies and live demonstrations in the back. I will be taking classes here.

Wow. This is quite the resource for art supplies here in downtown Edmonds. The man who runs this store is very knowlegeable about the products for sale, and I like how the store hold art classes regularly for both adults and kids. They have a good selection of higher-​end supplies for painting, etching, drawing and encaustic materials as well. There are funky artsy knick-​knacks too (which are fun), like zip-​up cases and purses, and artisan-​made jewelry for sale.
I was able to find a good set of colored pencils which my kid needs for school next year, and it didn’t break the bank. I liked how the owner or clerk didn’t bat an eye when I directly told him that I didn’t want or need the expensive stuff for my purposes. He easily found a great set for $ 12 and told us why this brand was so good. (I noticed that there were sets for 3, 4 times that cost and more). So the range of prices for art supply items is pretty good here, and the quality is better than at many places I’ve been to.
The store is a little dark and cramped, and I’d like to see a bit more light in the interior space, but other than that, what a super resource! If I lived near here, I’d sign my kids and myself up for regular art classes here. I like how this place supports local artists and the arts.
