About

We take new, used, and some partially used traditional art and craft supplies. For a list of common items we take and don't take, please refer to our home page. We offer store credit for your trade. We have you fill out a form with your information and we offer store credit based on what you bring us. We don't use an exact formula. Stoore credit is kept on file digitally for you to use. The credit does not expire and is only good for the location you brought it to. Store credit doesn't work on handmade items or classes/workshops. Please call if you have specific questions.

We do not take inventory or monetary donations. We're a for-profit store, but we offer store credit for anything you don't want anymore. Even if you don't plan to use it, you'll be required to fill out a form with your information, and we'll assign you minimal amount of store credit that we'll keep on file for you to use. If you would like to support us we do offer a Patreon Subscription you can cancel anytime, which includes behind-the-scenes photos and other rewards for supporting us.
