GOLDEN Product Lecture/Demo

Jason Broatch is back for a lecture and demo on the versatility of GOLDEN acrylic paints, gels and mediums. Our last lecture was sold out and space is limited for the June 5 session. If you’ve ever wanted to try acrylic paints, or if you’re an experienced acrylic painter, this session is filled with valuable information about how to use acrylic paints and the various gels and mediums. You’ll learn new techniques, see products in use and have all your questions answered.  Jason will also talk about the new slow-drying GOLDEN Open Acrylic Paint as well as the new Digital Grounds for inkjet printers. Free literature and product samples will be provided. Kensington Art Supply staff will be on hand with a selection of GOLDEN products for sale and we’ll be happy to answer your questions.

The next lecture/demo is scheduled for Saturday, June 5, 2010 from 10am to 1pm and will take place at the Parkdale Nifty Fifties Community Centre located at 3512 - 5 Avenue NW in Calgary.  Space is limited so please purchase your tickets early.  The cost is $5 and the ticket will give you a $5 credit towards the purchase of any GOLDEN products either at the demo or at the store (valid until June 30, 2010).  You can purchase your tickets by phone (MC or VISA) or in person at the store.

The fall lecture/demo is scheduled for Saturday, October 2, 2010 from 10am to 1pm and tickets will go on sale in August.
