Introduction

Guess what? That’s right, it’s once again time for another “showcased arts and crafts store” blog post! And as always, it’s part of an exclusive series found only on the Knitting & Purling blog.

Before I go any further with this art store spotlight post, let me just start off by admitting to all of the following:

• I don’t currently reside in the States (That’s right, folks. I’m a Canuck!)
• I’m not a professional artist of any kind…
• …nor am I a fine arts student studying to become a professional artist OR an art school teacher

So one might presume I’m not exactly the best person to blog about Dick Blick Art Materials, the “premier art supply source for professional artists, students, and teachers“… with store locations spanning from the west coast to the east (except limited to being situated ONLY in the US!).

However, just because I’m Canadian doesn’t mean I’ve never been to a fine art supply store before. In fact, I regularly frequent the big-names in art supply stores that are similar in nature to Dick Blick in the US… except they’re the Canadian versions (e.g. Curry’s and DeSerres).

And just because I’m not a devoted fine arts professional, teacher or student… that doesn’t mean I’m not a die hard “art hobbyist!” If you’ve had the chance to visit the main page for the arts and crafts section of my Knitting & Purling blog, you’re likely aware of my huge passion and love for practically anything and everything artistic. And something you might not know about me is that I actually studied and majored in Art History at the University of Toronto!

(So perhaps that should give me a bit more credibility? What do you think?)

Whether hobbyist or pro artist… whatever you’d like to label it, I still appreciate quality art supplies and artist tools when I see them! And Dick Blick is definitely home to some of the best, top brand names in art materials.

And guess what? They may not prominently advertise or promote this… but Dick Blick actually sells craft supplies, too!
