Review:

For artists, having a well-stocked store with all the supplies they need is a key to being able to create. Flax Art and Design has been at the heart of the Bay Area arts community since 1938. A family business, it is now operated by the 3rd generation of the Flax family. Flax offers an incredible range of art supplies to encourage and inspire anyone’s creativity. There are two locations - one in Oakland and one in San Francisco. The stores are known for their experienced staff who are always ready to offer expert advice and help customers find everything they need, from paint supplies and high quality art paper to all kinds of drawing supplies and art studio tools. Flax also offers framing options, art and craft supplies for kids, and interesting gifts for artistically inclined friends.
