Blick Art Materials, Seattle

Blick Art Materials on Capitol Hill is the mother lode for Seattle artists. A full scale art store, it’s also the local source for Utrecht art supplies, and with tens of thousands products on hand, it’s a great go-to for bulk purchases and last-minute needs alike. Drawing, painting and sculpting materials are joined by tools for block printing, pottery, ceramics, screen printing and air brushing. There are loads of educational supplies available, plus books, easels and furniture. Extra services offered inside the expansive and clean space include custom framing, high quality digital canvas and print art, and computer-aided design services. The staff is well-informed and helpful – most are artists themselves – and the store regularly offers sales and demos.
