Spring at Kensington Art Supply
Believe it or not, the tulips are starting to pop up in my south-facing flowerbed. With spring in the air, we’re seeing a renewed interest in all things creative. Many of our customers are experimenting with new techniques, new products and new mediums. And we’re here to help. We’re your one-stop shop for all your creative needs. GOLDEN Product Lecture/Demo Jason Broatch returns for a fun-filled session to talk about and demo the versatility of GOLDEN acrylic paints, gels and mediums. 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. Of course, the best selection will be available at the store. The demo scheduled for Sunday, March 21 is full so we have organized two more sessions: one later this spring and one in the fall. 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. The cost is the same at $5. Get Free Paint GOLDEN Artist Colors has just introduced a new promotion. Get a free 4 oz. Fluid Titanium White when you buy six 1oz. or three 4oz. bottles of GOLDEN Fluid Acrylics.
