Nothing compares to the feeling of the moment of picking up the perfect paint brush and FEELING how it fits into your hand!!! this shop is curated perfectly. i geeked out on finding some specific pens and brushes for the work i was already doing AND some real cute watercolor kits that will help me work my way into an area that i have always a little nervous to try. AND THEY HAVE SO MANY SUPER COOL STICKERS. run, dont walk.

Art supply stores are so hard to come by! Ive done the Michaels and Joanns runs, which worked wonderfully when I was starting my artistic journey, but as I grew my skill set I found that it became difficult to find what I needed. Blicks is a wonderful art supply store, but for me it involves a 30-45 minute drive. Then I found Ypsi Art Supply Store! My hubs and I were out and about and I suggested checking out this new art supply store that I heard of via Instagram. We only had 10 minutes until close, so I figured Id just pop in, check out what they had, and come back another time. For a little shop, the owner sure does offer a variety of things - sticker decals, watercolor/acrylic/other mediums, paper, markers, colored and graphite pencils, even local artistss original artwork! Plus SOOOOO much more! My absolutely favorite part about this shop, and what also makes it UNIQUE, are the products she has from small art business owners - handmade watercolor from various artists, homemade paper, and more! These are supplies Id have to risk ordering online, but I am able check them out here (Ive wanted to test out The Art of Soil since Im super into the environment, and Ill be able to purchase them from YAS!) Dont have a budget to purchase a whole palette? There are also some dot cards as well! The owner makes a point to connect with local artists and small art supply businesses to bring their products to her store I LOVE! To be able to support a local business with the mission to connect with the community of Ypsi through art is an absolute pleasure. From big name professional paints, to small business handmade products, you cant go wrong here! Oh, the owner is a GEM of a human too! I was THAT customer who came within the last 10 mins of closing, and she was kind enough to chat with me about her business, her goals for the future, and connect with me professionally and personally. I will 100% be back, and my birthday and Christmas list now has several items from her online store Check this place out, you wont be disappointed! (The pictures attached are from a very small purchase from her store since my budget for art supplies had been used for that month )
