3 stars because they have really cool stuff and I'd never been. My eyesight isn't great (wonderful for an artist) so I asked for help with paint brush prices. "They're written on the handle" she says. I say "Well, I have trouble seeing them, can you help anyway and if there is anything over $10 let me know ok?" Silence. She rang me up. "$108.92 please" Sharp intake of breath. I get home and on a hunch I check the receipt and brushes (with magnifying glass). No prices on handles BTW. Just on 2 discounted ones, which DISCOUNTS DO NOT APPEAR ON THE RECEIPT. Totally different more expensive prices. I don't feel like driving all the way back in the rain for a few dollars (gas could cost me more) even though I live on disability and these set me back a lot, because I'm super tired and disappointed that it seems at that moment as if everyone is either lazy or sloppy or I don't know what. Never going back. Too bad. They had these really cute dishcloths.?P.s. none of the brushes had prices on them so how can I trust any of the prices now?

Omg the variety! I was just visiting Oakland for the weekend and I found this gem right next to my hotel. I love it and will return again when I'm around the area.

Good selection of curated art materials. They offer some events, either free or low cost. Very knowledgeable staff, many of them are art students or hobbyists. They even deliver locally.

They racially profiled me while my best friend and daughter was looking around. Sent 3 different people to talk to me. Tbh, I was standing there drinking a mimosa and waiting for my family. Why bother me? I won't be returning.

I’ve been an artist my whole life, visiting art stores all over the country (and sometimes the world) and this is one of THE BEST I’ve been to. Very helpful employees, well organized, good vibes!

This place is massive and has everything you would want for making art. Be warned, the parking is tricky.

A bit on the expensive side but, terrific place to find items that usually need to order online somewhere and wait weeks to get. The staff are helpful and very experienced in advising professional artists or a novice with the supplies they may need. They will also answer their phone!

Really, it's an artist's dream store. The frame shop which shares the same space has some truly unusual and exciting frame materials, not found elsewhere. The staff at FLAX are super helpful.

I've been to a lot of art stores in Sacramento, Davis and the bay area "NONE" like FLAX!... they have the most amazing selection of art supplies with unbelievable prices! I found exactly what I was looking for, and the staff was very polite, friendly and helpful.I will 100% recommend them for all of your art supplies needs.
