WOOT! OUR NEW WEBSITE AND BLOG LOCATION!!! ›

Hello to all our followers and dear Loft fans! We’ve just launched our new website powered by Wordpress, which will also be the new location for our blog. We hope this causes you no inconvenience, and we’ll leave this tumblr up since we have so many great posts here already. But be sure to follow us over on Wordpress to keep up with our recent posts, events, and info.

On our new website you’ll soon be able to create a shopping list ONLINE which we’ll fulfill for you! You’ll see a calendar of free demos, artists talks (one coming up next weekend with Ray Lee), technique classes, and community events of note to artists. You can also contact us, learn about what materials we carry, and keep up with us on Facebook.

Thanks for your attention, and have a fabulously creative day!

Brilliant! This website has good DIY instructions for a variety of art processes made easy and inexpensive. I like this one that shows how to make a simple screen for screen printing with an embroidery hoop and screening fabric.

One of my favorite things about art supplies is some of the packaging. Here are a few that I really like.

Whoa! Many of you have enjoyed our Frequent Shopper Wall of Fame where those of you with two or more cards smush your face on our copy machine for an instant portrait that gets added to the wall. (Yes, we clean the machine between peeps).

Well, here artist Miguel Endara draws a portrait from one of these types of copy machine portraits, using MICRONS no less, and 3.2 MILLION DOTS! This video does a great job showing the pointillist technique up close with a dot counter near the points tip that hops with each dot made. Fun to watch and not too long.
