Now, here is a store I could spend hours in. I am in love with the art supplies room and I can never leave without buying something. Which is very dangerous for a serious shopper like me.
When I was taking art classes at Tri-c, our teacher sent us here with a list of everything we would need. Since she does this often, the employees knew exactly what I was looking for and where to find it which helped tremendously! The staff here is so friendly and knowledgeable about this giant store. They really keep it organized so it's easy to shop around.
The prices here are moderate. Not as cheap as some of the other hobby stores I've been to, but the quality is phenomenal. I have yet to see a sketchbook ring binding break or a paint brush lose its hair. They carry the best of the best. Pat Catans is definitely where I go for all of my artsy needs!
