Fluorescent, and Night Glow Screen inks

I was just wondering if you knew ...

WE HAVE THESE!

(can you tell I'm excited?)

Fluorescent, and Night Glow Screen Printing inks!

Canson two sided Bristol

We are now carrying Canson two sided Bristol.

This may not be exciting to everyone, but I think it is brilliant.
Instead of having to buy vellum surfaced bristol when you want texture, and smooth bristol for your fine pen and ink work...you get one pad of paper, and if you don't like one side of the paper, you flip it obver and use the other side. what a great and economical idea!

...and we just got three sizes back in stock!

Silkscreen time!

Hi, it's Kristin, and I'm excited to report that I'm taking a silk screening class at BCA over the next month. This is a method I have dabbled in over the past few years, but never received formal instruction for.

As I gather materials (and I must say it's fun to be on the "shopping" side of holding a class supply list) I wanted to point out what we have available through our e-partner catalog online.

Clear film that's ink-jet friendly, a must-have for the photo-emulsion technique

GIANT tubs of screen printing ink!

And here's the kit I purchased a few years ago (ostensibly as a Christmas gift for my husband, though he lets me use it...)The class doesn't start for two weeks, but I'm going to start going through my images to see what I might want to work with. I'm really looking forward to putting my drawings here there and everywhere, once I tackle the process.
