Ive been visiting this shop off and on for close to a decade for gifts for my sister, and recently to start my own inventory. They have always had spot on customer service and fantastic deals that were always helpful for a student wanting quality products. The staff are willing to go out of their way to make sure youre getting exactly what you nee, with my most recent experience involving them mixing colors to make sure I was getting the right shades for my project.I would give 20 stars of possible.
The staff was very helpful. They took the time to answer all of our questions. They have a large selection of art supplies. They are very knowledgeable. They were very professional and have excellent customer service.
They are clearly geared for students, and the prices reflect that assumption. However, they are pretty easy going about the student discount, so be sure to mention if you are a struggling independent artist. I love their variety of ink, pen and drawing utensils and especially that they are sold individually. I come here for the perfect pen when I need a specific job done. The paints are expensive but the brands are well chosen and sold individually by tube, same with brushes and ink supplies. The large canvases are well stocked and the dimensions arent just square and 5:3 rectangles, but some more interesting ones as well.I love coming here, but can never get more than a couple items with my budget. If you need standard things, go to the craft store with their weekly coupon. Come here knowing what you need in specific or high quality supplies. Unless you have $$, in which case have a blast!!
A very friendly gentleman by the name of John helped us out. Showed me how to properly blend the markers I was interested in. Very knowledgeable and Ill definitely be back.
Super friendly staff, just THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE. These employees and the owner are truly passionate about what theyre doing. Helped us out big time and even showed us demonstrations on some great art supplies.This is one of the most amazing art supply stores in the city (if not the entire state). Definitely go here!!!
It amazes me how such a small store has whatever art supply I need. Yesterday I had a lovely selection of block inks to choose from. Today I wanted a silk screen kit, and they did not disappoint. Always great personal service there too. So blessed to have them in the neighborhood!
The selection was amazing and so were the prices, not to mention the great customer service! The man who helped me was sooo amazing! Once he found out I teach painting classes, he showed me every type of paint possible that could be used, thoroughly explained the differences between the brands, and even gave me a free tube of paint as a sample! I can not express how much I enjoyed my experience here and the knowledgeable artist.
The Asel Location:8127 Callaghan San Antonio Texas 78220Was amazing! The staff was so friendly and very happy! I had a great experience even though I am taking art for non-majors! They helped me out a great deal when they found out I got my art supplies stolen. They helped me find alternative supplies for lower prices and made me feel better!LOVE THEM
We went in and were immediately greeted and helped. Received individual attention from the manager for almost an hour, helping us find the right pencils we needed. Im floored with how cool the staff was, and the selection was just what we needed. Go here if you have any need for any writing/drawing/painting/engineer drafting materials. Coming from a mostly-online shopper, Im coming back here instead.
I took my son by today to pick up his first sketch pad and pencils. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the gentleman’s name that helped up but he was a ball of energy. That made the visit so much fun and would highly recommend this store over any others in San Antonio.Keep up the great work!
Folks working here are super! The girl that helped us was cool about recognizing us as a scout troop and made the boys think it was cool.The drafting supplies are just the essentials but a fair assortment.Rest of the shop was clean, well organized and looked like it had everything else you could want from an art shop.
Best art supplies in town. Not for crafts so much...they cater to artists. Manager John is an encyclopedia of artists materials and techniques, and his staff always offers friendly and savvy service.
I almost lost myself in this store. Im all about supporting local business as apposed to the big corporate stores. Had everything an artist could need or want. In fact, I walked in for one thing and walked out with about 10. Friendly staff and though the prices are a bit higher than a super store, it was well worth it.
I love this store. The selection, service, and advice are awesome. I always have questions and theyre very knowledgeable. The women there are amazing. Beautiful, creative, informative, and talented. Thank you asel art supply
Five stars. Friendly + helpful staff (!), excellent selection, fantastic prices that are even better than big online stores. The only local place I will shop at for art supplies - very laid-back atmosphere, they encourage you to try before you buy. Who could ask for more?
Customer service was great. Went in with a list for my son and one of the guys that worked there just asked for our list to help us find everything. Art supplies are expensive in general.. But I would go back if we needed anything else.
This is the only place to get art supplies!!! Dont go to the big chain supply places, you know the big two! This is a real art shop with.... ARTISTS WORKING THERE!!! These people know how all of the things they sell can be used and will give you pointers and ideas and help you find the right stuff you need! Support this place, this is what a real American business looks like people!
Awesome art store with everything you need. John is such a sweet, kind person able to help you find anything. Will recommend to everyone I know!
Wide variety of art supplies and very helpful staff. Great specials too!
Nice place for arts supplies. They carry various art pens, art supplies, canvas paints etc. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Great store.
Went there for the first time today and to be honest I will never go anywhere else. This place has everything and the guy John is awesome. He has back story and history so your not just shopping. Love love love this store.
I love this store, theyre always super nice and the prices are amazing, theyre always willing to help if you have questions. Definitely recommend it for students.
Great Art Shop for artists on the northside! Friendly staff (mostly students and artists) and wide selection. They have great sales and will order something if its not in stock.
So happy I found this place! So many good quality art supplies and really good prices.
High quality art supplies great places. Shop local!
It has a nice degree of variety my mother enjoyed purchasing supplies here some are a bit pricy but many things are affordable but it depends on what you are looking for
Nice shop. the workers their love art and have a good understanding of the suplies they sell. It wasnt we have this, but we have this this is how you use it to accomplish the look you described,and we also have this other product if you want to try it by using this other method.
This place is amazing! The staff are very kind and understanding, And a great wide selection!! I definitely recommend this place for art supplies.
Staff is very helpful and informative. My artistic children enjoy going whenever they can. Learn something every visit.
There are some supplies one can get at asels that you cant get at big hobby stores, and the staff is always knowledgeable, helpful and can make you good deals.
Found what I needed when no one else in town had it! With exceptional pricing. Very customer service friendly and knowledgeable.
Love the variety of products. The employees are friendly and helpful. The aisles and products are neat and organized. Overall great experience. Also liked the Asels in Dallas that I visited.
Dee at the main Street shop is amazing!! Ive bought multiple canvases, stretching boards...and she is always helpful and encouraging!
They are incredibly friendly and helpful, and spent time demonstrating different products for my kids on their first trip to a real art supply store.
Great place. Good prices. A large selection of individual art supplies. Really love the employees
This store has a nice selection of Procion MX dyes. When Im on a deadline for a tie dye project, its nice to have a local source thats close to where I live.
I got some nice pins and a sketchbook from there. it seems family run, but its a great place to get some cheap, nice art supplies!
Wonderful shop owner. Helped me choose the right supplies for my project and even made some helpful suggestions for maximizing my discounts. A++
Been going for many years. Always great friendly knowledgeable staff. Fair prices good selection. What more could you want
Let me just say, Hands down one of the best Art stores Ive been to. Had everything I needed and Great service.
I went last year and the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Id like to go back for a few new materials but not sure if thats possible with this current city shutdown.
Amazing customer service! An artist dream store! Doing all my shopping here
Every time I arrive, Im greeted by a warm welcome. Sales associates are 99% of the time helpful, with the 1% being common mistakes that everybody has.
Great variety of art supplies for all kinds of artwork for all kinds of artists. One hundred different types of paint brushes.🎨🖌️✨🖼️👀👍✨
Excellent resource store for serious artists. The canvas and paint variety is very large.
First time being there. My daughter is in nesa program for art n they had everything she needed. Very courteous n great customer service
They have everything I needed and much more. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. This is my go-to place for my drafting needs . . .
The staff at Asel Art on Callaghan were very, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and honest. They voluntarily take the time to provide you with extra information to help you expand your art horizons.
Staff is super passionate about your projects and have great knowledge of the item they supply in store.
Great art sales. Oils, pastels and canvases.
A highly specialized store that is useful for professionals or beginners. You find everything and the staff is very friendly. highly recommended.
Small place but a great selection, good prices and a nice, friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Gosh I wish I remember the name of the nice gentleman who helped me out.But he was so nice and helpful recommended me some brushed and I love them!
Great amount of supplies, and staff is very helpful and knowledgeable for any questions you might have.
Great customer service, looking for airbrushing supplies but didnt find a great assortment.
Drove from Boerne and got there at 4:45. The sign says they close at 5. The stoners that work there wouldnt let us in. I guess its standard protocol to close before the hours at this store.
Went out of their way to help me out when a product was out of stock, incredibly nice and knowledgeable!
Asel has excellent quality art supplies and friendly service.
I love going to this at store! Service is wonderful and inspiration is just a question away.

If they had a membership type thing, Id instantly sign up. Its inviting, gives off that sense of passion for art by the employees, and GOD YES they always have the supplies I need but cant find at most bigger stores.
A place that has specialized drawing materials, things that you only get on Amazon or here, I found calligraphy markers that are not in a normal bookstore.Specialty shop for art supplies.
The best attention from the manager, made me feel comfortable with my little English.
Very friendly and they had what I needed

2022-03-18What a great place. Guys, if you need art supplies, please stop by this store. Awesome service, super knowledgeable, and most importantly local small corporation. Support local businesses. Lets make art with Asel art!! This is my new favorite go-to store now. Great selection of paints, paper, brushes. Oh and location takes me back to those industrial studios. Amazing experience.

2022-04-29Came to purchase some acrylic paints for my college art project and the man at front was extremely jolly and excited to help! Without asking he brought over an acrylic paint set that was a better value over the previous paints I was about to buy. He even gave me two sample brushes and had an amazing attitude the whole way through! He really made my day, his positivity was exquisite! and

2018-11-21I used to shop at Hobby Lobby and Michaels but at Asel art I feel at home! They have so much to choose from. As a painter, they have everything and more that suits my needs! The staff is very friendly and helpful, also the prices are better than some of the stuff at other places I have shopped at. This is my go to place and I couldnt be happier! Definitely worth stopping by for your next art project!

2022-07-03I once found flake white oils here. Where else are you going to find that? Just walking around the store gives me that raw artsy feeling that boosts inspiration.
Review №6
2021-09-30The owner/manager of the store is the best. He is always so helpful from the moment you walk in the door and not in an annoying way. His sense of humor and personality always makes me laugh and giggle when I listen to him as I’m browsing around. Very personable. This store is the furthest from me then all the other art supply stores in San Antonio but the customer service is worth it. I’ll definitely keep going there first before anywhere else.
