Blick Art Supplies
« on: July 29, 2014, 12:34:39 PM »
For those in the continental US Dickblick.com has some really good prices on art supplies and they have free shipping on orders over $50 right now (till 8/2 I think). Calligraphy wise they sell some nibs (brause, tachikawa, and hunt) various inks (w&n, fw, Dr martins Bombay, bleedproof white, yasumoto sumi, etc) pearl ex pigment powders, various brands of gouache, and rhodia pads. Most at lower prices than I've found elsewhere and free shipping to boot!

Got the chance to visit their NYC branch during my last vacation! The one where you'll think it's such a small store until you go down to their art heaven! Not much nibs though but they have a good variety of inks! Also got a light pad for a reasonable price :)

No Dick Blick's here.   :(  But I want some Pearl Ex, so I think I will place and order and take advantage of the free shipping. Thanks for letting us know about it!

Lori, check the prices at J0-Ann's & Jerry's Artarama before buying!  Both of them had a sale on Pearl-ex last weekend!  (Sorry, I'm not sure when the sale ends!!)

I have to warn you that the Blick stores do not have the same prices as the catalogs.  Made a trip downtown to the Blick store to get Dr. Martins hydra ink set for about $51 and discovered it was something like $82.  Clerk confirmed they do not have the prices in the catalog....

I love Blick!!!  We don't have one in Dallas, so I've only used their online store.  Fantastic prices!!!
