The West Virginia Art COOP goes to NAMTA!

NAMTA (National Art Materials Trade Association), hosts a yearly show for art supply manufacturers. This year, the WV Art COOP had it's first trade show booth featuring both the Sporny Solution and the newly patented Spider Easel.

Our first view of the convention floor.

The convention was a blur of happy frantic motion. We networked, shared ideas, met the president of Pearl Paint (a truly lovely lady), the Dick Blick folks, and many other luminaries from the art supply distribution world.

Right to left: Will, Sporny, Ursula, the three fantastic Chattahoochee ladies, Natalie, and Margie.

We had the pleasure of being next to the Chattahoochee Pencil Company. They were wonderful ladies with a fantastic pencil and we had a great time with them! Other new friends include Willamsburg Artist Materials, makers of excellent handmade oil colors, and Mr.ElliePooh, makers of innovative and eco-friendly paper products.

Will Starcher and his Spider Easel take a moment to pose with Stanley and the Sporny Solution at our booth.

We had a great time and are looking forward to next year's NAMTA show in Boston!
