Our trip to the NAMTA/Creativation show last month in Orlando, Florida was our first official post-pandemic travel destination – and we loved every minute of it! Being able to get back out there and connect in-person with our network of retailers and distributors, as well as all the art & craft industry professionals means the world to us.

 

John Cogley (Owner) and Katherine Taylor (President) were in the booth to meet with everyone and share loads of news and inspiration. Manufacturer reps Scott Stevenson and Kim Del Valle (shown below) were also on hand to chat with show attendees about our products. “The show had a really positive vibe overall,” Scott said. “Everyone was totally open to new ideas and happy to talk about their business.”

 

 

In addition to meeting and hugging so many friends and colleagues, we really enjoyed talking about everyone’s favorites – including our line of Primatek^® Watercolors, our versatile Watercolor Sticks, and our Master Artist Watercolor Sets.

 

 

We were even more excited to talk with our industry colleagues about what’s coming next for Daniel Smith – new products will be hitting the shelves later this year and in early 2023!

Here is your first look at what’s to come… more news will be announced here soon.

• New product: DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Gouache
• New product: DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Powder Watercolor
• Expanded colors: DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolor Sticks
• Brand new colors: DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolor (15ml tubes)

As soon as their bags were unpacked from Florida, John and Katherine set off again! They’ll be visiting with artists and resellers around the world for the rest of May – from Italy, to Greece, to Bulgaria and beyond.

Be sure to join them LIVE on Zoom – every Thursday and Friday this month to follow them on their journey and see who they meet up with along the way.
