I went in not knowing what to expect. As someone who has been drawing for 20+ years, this was a dream come true. Vintage pencils, new pencils, delicious sketchbooks, not to mention all the lovely local art there as well - it was so fun to go through everything there. The shop owner was extremely knowledgeable and so informative. He answered all of my questions about the local art scene and gave me some great advice too. Highly reccomend a visit, even if you are not an artist.

I have two vintage original Janis posters. I went in with a pretty good idea of what I wanted and needed. Chet understood that I was looking for museum, archival framing and also gave me choices in the color and style frames I wanted. His work is absolutely top notch and now they will be around to be enjoyed long after I’m gone. Thank you Sir!

As always, Artworks/Pencillarium is my "go to" place for Prismacolor pencils. The person who works there is always very helpful and knowledgeable.

I am so excited! I just received my beautiful pencils that I ordered online. I spoke to the owner over the phone and he is highly personable. My order even came with a special surprise. I highly recommend this store and would definitely visit if I were in Wisconsin. :)

Such a totally cool, super fun, and unique place to visit and purchase really awesome pencils and various accoutrements that go with pencils....the owner is very friendly, helpful, and offers so much knowledge about the history of pencils and everything you need to know about pencils....who knew that something so utilitarian and common could be so fascinating!!! Parking is available in the back and the shop also offers outstanding framing services and a fun art gallery. So much to see and experience here. This is a DON'T MISS destination!

I love the willingness to help almost immediately without even formulating a relationship with them. that is extremely Samaritan like, and rare.

This independent framing store is by far the best place in town to get framing. You will not find a more helpful, skilled farmer who actually genuinely cares about how your piece is going to look in it’s frame. Whether you have original art, or a vintage movie poster or a sports jersey, or a 3D piece, Chet will work with you to make a frame that looks stunning.I have had all my illustrations framed here and have never been disappointed by the result or the cost. His prices can’t be beaten even by the big art stores and their coupons.The store itself houses The Pencillarium. A specialty and vintage pencil store, which is really fascinating.This place is definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for excellent service and cost for professional framing, any artist, and anyone interested in the humble pencil.
