Every time I go into an art store, I feel like I've dropped into an Alice in Wonderland fantasy. Those rainbow paints and shapely brushes all call my name, promising better days where my drawing of a turtle will no longer look like a potato. (Alas, for it never is the case... but one can keep hoping).

This store is well stocked enough for the art addict. I actually came by looking for some... more

I have not been to this place in a while, because well, I'm not really an artist.
What I am is, an addict of purchasing art supplies for me to "try out later", for my imaginary projects that never even makes to the drawing board. And as such, I will say that this place is a horrible place for my wallet to ever visit, because not only do they have supplies at a reasonable price - they actually... more

I'm no artist, but as someone with a serious addiction to purchasing art supplies, this place is like a large resealable sack of ecstacy sitting in a punchbowl of cocaine dropped into a kiddle pool of heroin. That is to say, I like this place.

Everything an artist could need and a lot, lot more. They have a ridiculous selection of paper including specialty papers, mylar, tissue, photo paper,... more

Nor did he even clue in to the fact that I flunked out Mrs. Fernandes' grade 9 art class with an F grade of 19... more

Woolfitt's, in keeping with its roll of the tongue name, has an easy setup to walk through. The staff are very helpful whenever and for whatever you need them. I have purchased paints for my niece where I was more concerned about them being more free from chemicals (in case she was dumb enough to try them - though with the colours vibrancy I suppose you couldn't quite blame someone). I managed... more

I've been going to Woolfitt's on and off for years, ever since I was a kid and they were located on Dupont (back in the early '90s, I won a whole bunch of acrylic paints in a draw, which I still have). The current location is a bit brighter and more bohemian-looking, but the retail space might actually be a bit smaller, though I couldn't be sure. Regardless, they have a ton of top-notch art... more
