New Central arts/crafts place

[dmaze]

Over lunch I stopped by the new arts-and-crafts store in Central Square, across the street from Pearl. (It apparently seems to be named "Artist & Craftsman Supply", which is remarkably uncreative.) They seemed to have a smaller selection of stuff than Pearl, and generally more on the "arts" than "crafts" side. And their entire store is in the basement, which felt a little weird. But for what they seemed to have, they seemed to have a reasonable selection, and fairly good prices. Very vaguely tempted by a cheap drafting table + chair combo for $175, but I'd really have no where to put it.

I finally stopped in there a few weeks back - they had several kinds of pens and papers that Pearl didn't, which is surprising given just how much paper pearl has. I'd look there again...
