Great store. A little pricey, but always high quality items.

If you’re looking for basically any art supply, this place will most likely have it. When I was looking for art supplies here, they had literally everything I was looking for. 5 stars. Will for sure be coming back here again sometime and I highly recommend this place for art supplies

Awesome art store with a good selection of Japanese papers! unfortunately a fairly limited range of fountain pens though.
FLAX art & design, the Bay Area's most well-loved retail art supply business, has been serving the creative community since 1938. Our stores are conveniently located in Downtown Oakland, and along San Francisco's north side waterfront at the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture. Whichever location you choose, as customers often say, FLAX is a "candy store for the creative". A family-owned business headed by Howard Flax, who represents the third generation along with his brother Craig and their sister Leslie Flax Abel, FLAX has a long history supporting artists and the Bay Area arts community.
