Gel Press Alcohol Ink & Oil Pigment Stick

EDUCATIONAL EVENTS

Monoprinting Presented by Sally Lynn MacDonald, Gel Press

Using the unique properties of Gel Press, Sally Lynn MacDonald will demonstrate the ability to use alcohol inks in an entirely new and interesting way for mixed media applications as well as for creating visually stunning mono prints and instant image transfers. Come watch as we go way beyond acrylic paint with this versatile application tool for your art. Sally Lynn MacDonald often mixes her love of creating and teaching art with her high-tech side – blending a love of handmade art with hybrid-digital media in what she playfully calls her ‘studio lab’. Every now and then her large-format printer is subjected to printing on a surface that definitely is not listed in the owners’ manual. She is a maven for studio organization, using her abilities to use spreadsheets and databases to bring order from chaos. “It’s marvelous when the right and left brain actually work together in the studio.” Sally Lynn is the Brand Manager for Gel Press Monoprinting Art Products. In addition to being a complete Gel Press Junkie, she is involved in all things social media for Gel Press. This also includes development of the website, online workshops and she is constantly testing new companion products. Her fearless exploration of new media has not resulted in any damage, thus far, but it has yielded some pretty cool techniques which she will be sharing with you in this workshop.

2:00 - 3:00 PM Airbrushes - Easy as 1-2-3 Presented by Grex Airbrush

IN-BOOTH ACTIVITIES Booth 121

ACTIVA Products, Inc.

When selling airbrushes, it’s important to understand how to use an airbrush and how to differentiate the various types and styles. It can get confusing with all the products available. But with the Grex Airbrush System, choosing an airbrush is as simple as 1-2-3. The systems approach to our design results in only 4 core airbrushes. And in combination with our comprehensive line of accessories, these 4 airbrushes can accommodate any artists applications and preferences. Each Grex airbrush can grow and transform with the artist's needs. The simplicity of the system also means less skus for you to carry. So join our demonstration to learn how Grex Airbrush can allow you to offer airbrushes with a minimal investment. Danny Ink has been with Grex Airbrush for over 6 years and has been working with airbrushes for many more. He is very familiar with the Grex Airbrush design philosophy and its influence into their sales and marketing. This has allowed him to develop a deep understanding of how airbrushes can be leveraged in many different industries and markets.

EDUCATIONAL EVENTS 4:00 - 5:00 PM Energize and Educate! Simple and Effective Ampersand Demos Presented by Dana Brown, Ampersand

EDUCATIONAL EVENTS

Any time a customer can try a product in-store, their confidence and understanding about that product grows, and a sale is more likely. Not every demo needs a lot of space and a complex setup. Sometimes, simply showing an artist how a product works or how easy it is, is enough to spark new creative ideas! Ampersand artist Dana Brown will guide you through three simple and fun Ampersand demos that you can set up with minimal space and effort. This presentation will be hands-on, and you will leave with information about the steps and materials needed to conduct these simple demos in your store!

Traditional Art Materials in a Digital World

Screen, Keyboard and Mouse vs. Sketchbook, Pencil and Brush Presented by John Rise, American Design EaselWorks

Technology is redefining art. What does the future hold for traditional art materials? How can the art materials industry reinforce the value and usage of traditional materials and methodologies to integrate and better inform technology based art? Traditional materials, methods and disciplines are often overlooked or dismissed as technology advances and infiltrates into academia and studios, thus increasing computer generated or manipulated visual arts. John Rise will examine the phenomena of traditional art materials from the viewpoint of a manufacturer, studio painter and a professor in an art and design college that is increasingly dependent upon the screen, keyboard and mouse rather than the sketchbook, pencil and brush. Round-table discussion to follow. In 1979 John Rise founded Best Artist Products (manufacturer of canvas stretcher bars and hard wood easels) which he sold to The Jack Richeson & Company in 1995. He is a professor in the School of Foundation Studies at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. In 2014 John founded American Design EaselWorks.

He can often be found hunched over a sketchbook in a coffee shop.

1:00 – 2:00 PM Clean up with Paint Puck Presented by Dawson Cannon, Paint Puck

The long awaited Paint Puck tutorial session! Participate in delightfully simple product demonstrations, and leave class with a gift. Paint Puck was a company founded around taking the simplest solutions for artists and implementing them in digitally sculpted product forms. Paint with a variety of Paint Puck Products, and enjoy yourself while you hear about the company's eccentric history. Dawson Cannon is an aerospace engineer turned product designer. This is Dawson’s third year at NAMTA. Once, casually painting for a commission check, he thought of a device that would make his artistic process more efficient and hassle-free. At a visit to a past NAMTA show, Dawson brought in prototypes. Ever since, the Paint Puck brand has been popular within the artist community, a growing favorite of painters everywhere.

3:00 - 4:00 PM Artzee + Bronzee Liquid Finish The Creative Possibilities Presented by Diann Kincaid, Artzee

At the Bronzee Liquid Finish Demonstration you will learn how easy it is to use Artzee and Bronzee. The unique art mediums dry rock hard into an enamel finish; sealing and protecting a variety of permeable objects: various clays, canvas, cement, fabric, leather, metal, paper mache, wood, and stone. Diann will use a variety of porous materials to showcase how to produce an end result into a Bronze or Patina Bronze finish. Diann will be demonstrating a variety of fine art and crafts projects. Diann Kincaid is the founder and manufacturer of Artzee Liquid Sealer, Bronzee Liquid Finish, and Glazee Waterproof Sealant.

2:00 – 3:00 PM Jacquard Primer on Dyes Presented by Alexender Preston, Jacquard

What are dyes? How do they work? Which is the best dye for my project? Our experience at Jacquard tells us that this is one of the least understood areas of the art store. It can be difficult to navigate, and worse: difficult to help your customer. We recently introduced our Basic dyes, which are beautiful and exciting, but only add to the confusion about which dye to choose for which project. We have developed a simple chart that explains the correct fibers for each of our dyes, under what conditions they should be used, and what products are compatible with each dye class. This will greatly aid you in helping dye customers and could help you find new dye customers. This demo will include a hands-on component using basic dyes. If you wish to dye any wood or leather a super bright color, please bring it along! Alex has been making t-shirts for over a decade. He has always been an artist and in his youth was often seen running wild in his parents' art store, Preston Arts Center in Louisville. He studied chemistry in college and now develops paints and dyes for Jacquard Products.

HONOREES / NETWORKING EVENTS

Hayley had worked summers at Grafix, the family business, and remembers putting together customer binders in the dining room to make some extra money. But joining Grafix was not her long-term plan. After graduating from college with an Art History degree, Hayley received a “personal” want ad in the mail from her father. She decided to take him up on the offer on a trial basis and negotiated her starting role as product manager. She joined Grafix in 1992. Now, after 27 years and moving through a variety of roles: product manager, marketing manager, sales manager, VP of Sales & Marketing, President of Consumer Products and finally Owner with her brother after buying the business when their father retired in 2002, it has indeed become her long-term plan.

to paint or draw, by positioning a finger to measure a length. The artist moves the prop to their working space, and they attempt to reproduce the tilt and measurements on their sketch pad or canvas. This is then repeated for a second object, related in some way to the first. This method is fraught with many ways to introduce errors requiring multiple tries before capturing what the relationship observed. The Artist’s Angle® has features simplifying this process, for accurate recording of the perspective between two observed objects touching or not.

David and Rebecca fell in love with resin at the same time as they were falling in love with each other (circa 2007). Things were perfect everything, that is, except the resin. So they did what creative people do: they problem-solved and problem-solved and problem-solved (with help from some smart Texas chemists). Finally they came up with the ideal product for their artwork: crystal clear resin that's easy and safe to use. And now you can use it too, for whatever it is you do and all your endless ideas.

The ARTIST’S ANGLE® (Patent Pending) Artists are often faced with the task of capturing a relationship between objects that exist in a three-dimensional space, onto a twodimensional or three-dimensional working space. Traditionally, artists hold a prop such as a pencil, and tilt it at an angle which represents the slant of one object observed-they may also measure the subject they want

Winsor & Newton has been at the forefront of colour innovation, and that history continues today with the launch of eight Cadmium-Free Professional Water Colours. Formulated by chemists and approved by artists, these new paints deliver the cadmium colour strength, vibrancy, transparency and lightfastness you expect, but without the cadmium. Expert Innovation. Endless Possibilities.

SCUPLTURE BLOCKÂ® Colart is now distributing Sculpture Block for professional artists, 3-D designers, hobbyists, architects and model makers. Jan Willem Krijger, the product’s developer, has designed creative products for 30 years. As a sculptor, he realized that sculpting’s complexity and cost limited it to only a few people, so he and his team developed Sculpture Block. It is extremely lightweight, strong and paintable, plus low dust, nontoxic and environmentally friendly. It’s simple to use and cost effective. It cuts and shapes easily with a chisel, rasp, saw and sandpaper, and attaches together with glue, plaster, cement or epoxy.

Creative Art Materials, Ltd

Caran d'Ache Multi-Technique Water-Soluble Set Caran d'Ache is extending its Graphite Line range with a new generation of graphite. The new Technalo RGB and Grafcube RGB fuse the power of graphite with the magic of colour to create exceptional effects: 2-in-1 tools that combine the qualities of a colour pencil with water-soluble lead and a graphite pencil to meet the discerning requirements of artists and creative professionals. Used dry, these media retain the original properties of graphite. In contact with water, the black is tinted with subtle shades of carmine lacquer (575), dark phthalo green (719) or Prussian blue (159) for unique renderings. These innovative tools offer new creative dimensions with the promise of exceptional lightfastness.

These photographs and videos may be used in a myriad of ways to promote this and future events. Additionally, press badges may be given to members of the media who are authorized to photograph and film the same.
