St. Louis Art Supply 4011 Papin Street, St. Louis, MO 63110

"My first time experience here was purrfect! They had a massive selection of items to chose from and be absorbed by! I was able to purchase my items with the assistance of the staff, including Malcom! He was a very purrfesional cat in helping me make my Traveler’s Notebook selections and the staff member that was on hand was helpful and made the shopping experience a treat! I hope to visit again soon so I can fully immerse myself in the bits and bobs of what wonderful writing implements that they provide!"

"Took my wife here. She is the artist not me. This is a hidden little spot. I found after a search. Super friendly worker there. Had a super friendly cat there. Wife uses pencils and Chaulks as a medium. Said the selection was good. The prices were better than the bigger stores..but a fair enough margin to keep coming back all the time. They won a new artist in my wife"

"St. Louis Art Supply has many hard -to -find and interesting items. They are quick to ship items and they are also quick to respond to any issues with an order. I recently purchased a travel brush that had bent bristles upon arrival. The staff at St. Louis handled my issue in a kind and generous way. I was promptly sent a new brush along with an addressed envelope in which to send the damaged brush back. St. Louis Art Supply has an impressive supply of Schmincke and Gansai Tambi items- as well as many interesting nibs and nib holders. They also sell Mitsubishi Hi- uni pencils in sets and in individual sets- which, by far, are my favorite pencils. I highly recommend St. Louis Art Supply!"

"I placed an order for the kakimori brass nib, which I have not been able to find in stock anywhere! I called to check on my order since it was my first purchase from this store. They were so helpful and friendly, and my package came super quickly. Super happy with my purchase and with the excellent customer service. Just goes to show you should always support your local art shops!"

"I've been here twice and have had a great experience both times. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. The store is organized and inviting - so much fun to browse. The location is great although there's only street parking. I've been on a weekday and a Saturday and didn't have trouble finding a spot. The bonus is the attached cafe. If your significant other could care less about art supplies they can hang out in the cafe while you browse. Win-win!"
