This huge store right on Mass Ave in Central Square offers a large range of products, everything from calligraphy pens and stationary paper to canvas stretchers and professional portfolios. Downstairs has aisles and aisles of craft items -- beads, string, wooden shapes, foam, yarn, etc. And upstairs is a fine arts section with a selection of brushes and paints. I haven't found the staff all that helpful, though, but they do know their stuff, if you ask a specific question. Navigating the store can be confusing -- when looking for acrylic paints, I didn't know whether to go downstairs or upstairs to Fine Arts. Browsing can be fun, but I've found it helps to know what you're looking for.
