Being in Hawaii, you don't find many local places that offer such a wide variety of art supplies. Flax Art & Design offer such a great selection of art supplies at such great prices. Online or by catalog, it's much easier than fighting crowds and traffic.

I like to go looking for art supplies here , they have everything you could ever need. They are a little pricy but there stuff is all great quality and they have a very large selection of craft supplies so I can always find what I need here and I don't have to go looking from place to place for the supplies that I need. FLAX is Great!!!
